Book Review

Beyond telling the African story in an all-positive approach, as a continental media outlet, The Scholar Media Africa remains determined and outstanding in reviewing books. Our support for African Literature and Authorship, in general, goes past the continental borders and we are open to receiving more and more books for review, especially around the African Narrative.

We look forward to having your book(s) reviewed. You can always share a soft copy of the book via our email at editor@scholarmedia.africa and then, within a short time, furnish us with the hard copy (complimentary copy) for our library.

You know, as in the words of Jeanette Winterson, “Books and doors are the same things. You open them, and you go through into another world.”
