Skryf is an independent journal for short fiction, poetry and essays, in Afrikaans and English. We publish work from established and new writers: from Willem Jacobs’s farmhouse poems to Cassie Carstens’s series on vulnerability, Zilla Schoeman’s sharp verse, and the voices that have joined since.
Skryf started as a place to read, no paywall, no shouting adverts. Just words.

If you’ve written something that belongs here, a poem, a short story, or just a thought that won’t let go, send it to us. We read every submission.
