Raising African Authors for Global Impact
The Imbila Writers Conference 2026 is a four-day gathering dedicated to the formation of African Christian authors who write with conviction, excellence, and global relevance.
Following a foundational inaugural conference in 2025, this second edition builds intentionally on that momentum—going deeper into the craft of writing, the discipline of publishing, and the spiritual formation required to steward words faithfully.
This conference exists because the African Church must not only grow numerically, but also speak clearly, write faithfully, and leave a written witness for generations to come.
