Goodfelo

Africa's most prestigious community for young and emerging creative writers, celebrating exceptional literary talents, and nurturing a legacy of world-class storytellers who inspire our world...

Who We Are

We are a passionate community of writing enthusiasts dedicated to empowering young creative writers in Africa.

We are driven by a simple yet powerful belief that writing is a superpower. We believe that writing has the ability to transform lives (impacting both writers and readers), shape societies, and inspire generations. Our goal is to nurture this superpower in young African writers, providing them with the support, resources, and community they need to thrive.

Our Vision is to be Africa's most prestigious and influential community for young and emerging creative writers, celebrating exceptional literary talents, and nurturing a legacy of world-class storytellers who inspire our world...


Join Our Community! If you're a young African writer looking for a supportive community, inspiring resources, and opportunities to grow, we invite you to join us. Together, let's unleash the transformative power of writing and shape the future of African literature.

Since 2020

TheGoodFelo is a literary initiative founded on a mission to further ignite the culture of reading and writing among young Africans - starting from Nigeria. At TheGoodFelo, we promote literature, creativity, and originality.

This idea was birthed in 2018 but did not come alive until 2020.

We champion our cause by:

  • Providing sustainable platforms that empower emerging writers to share their voices and creativity.
  • Organizing literary prizes, workshops, and training programs to recognize and empower exceptional talents.
  • Connecting readers with high-quality, indigenous content that reflects Africa’s rich storytelling.
  • Facilitating mentorship and collaboration between young and experienced writers to ensure their growth and global impact.
