How to Submit Your Book to ACABA

There is a Kikuyu proverb that says, “Do not curse the day before it ends.” Jemimah’s journey at the 5th African Christian Authors Book Award (ACABA) Gala brought this wisdom to life. From submitting her first book in 2022 without winning, to faithfully writing again and celebrating others, her moment finally arrived when her devotional for expectant mothers was honoured as Content of the Year. This is a story of obedience, patience, quiet faith—and the God who finishes His work before the day is done.

This is a story about courage, excellence, and the quiet applause of Heaven.
