The magazine publishes fiction, poetry, essays, and criticism, with a particular emphasis on contemporary voices from the continent and its diaspora. Its mission is to promote African literature globally, foster critical conversations, and provide a space for both emerging and established writers to reach a wide audience. Through its daily updates, Brittle Paper has cultivated a reputation for being both accessible and intellectually rigorous, bridging the gap between popular and academic literary discourse.

Writers should familiarize themselves with Brittle Paper's content before submitting. The magazine seeks original, unpublished work that engages with African experiences and perspectives. While there are no strict formatting requirements, submissions should be polished and accompanied by a brief bio. Response times vary, and simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but writers should notify the editors promptly if their work is accepted elsewhere. For specific opportunities like the Nigeria Picture Book Project, applicants must follow the guidelines provided in the call, which may include thematic or genre-specific requirements.
