Emerging Genre Trends African Writers Should Watch in 2025
Genres aren’t fixed. They move with the times, and in 2025, three big shifts are defining what readers love.
1. Romantasy is thriving
It’s the perfect blend of love and imagination. For African writers, infusing local myths and love stories could make for powerful global hits.
2. Hidden history is trending
Readers are hungry for narratives that reveal forgotten events and unheard perspectives. African history is full of moments waiting to be retold in fresh ways.
3. Contemporary nostalgia
It’s about making readers feel the present while pulling on threads from the past they miss, a combination that connects deeply.
These trends aren’t passing fads. They’re a signal: readers want emotion, discovery, and authenticity in their stories.
