Masobe Books Set to Publish Nana Sule's Debut Book

Masobe Books announced the acquisition of Nana Sule's debut book, Not So Terrible People, a collection of 11 stories about rebellious angels, jinns, and humans in their attempt to aid Shaitan in his scheme to be reborn as a human being.

According to Masobe, “Each story in Nana Sule's debut collection is intricately linked and skillfully crafted. Grand themes, ideas and concepts are deftly explored, creating a prism effect where every story is like tilting the angle to catch a different wavelength, or perspective of life.”

Nana Sule is a writer, journalist, and communications strategist with a deep passion for African literature. She co-hosts Conversations with Nana, a podcast promoting African poetry and storytelling. She is co-owner of The Third Space, a vibrant bookstore and workstation in Kano. Nana also curates literary events that foster creativity and community. Alongside her work, she volunteers as the communications lead for the Poetic Wednesdays Initiative and the Managing Editor for Arts Muse Fair.

Her literary achievements include being the first runner-up for the 2022 Alitfest Prize for Fiction, being on the longlist for the 2023 Sevhage Prize for her short story, Owanyi. Though fiction is her primary craft, Nana also enjoys writing and performing poetry in intimate settings. And when she’s not immersed in stories, she’s indulging her love for chocolate.
