Continuing its distinctive legacy of developing young, new black voices, BlackBird Books’ latest release, If You Keep Digging by Keletso Mopai, is a moving collection of short stories that is an essential addition to current and on-going discussions, including those around migration, gender, sexuality and identity that affect the youth. Continuing its distinctive legacy of developing young, new black voices, BlackBird Books’ latest release, If You Keep Digging by Keletso Mopai, is a moving collection of short stories that is an essential addition to current and on-going discussions, including those around migration, gender, sexuality and identity that affect the youth. The selection of stories highlights marginalised identities and looks at the daily lives of people who may otherwise be forgotten or dismissed.

BlackBird Books is also proud to announce that If You Keep Digging is the first release to have the new-look book covers for all our fiction titles. All fiction titles are revamped with artist Sindiso Khumalo’s stunning prints.

As a pioneer of black narratives and debuting new authors to the literary world, we continue unearthing new talent with Remy Ngamije’s The Eternal Audience of One in June, and Perfect Imperfections by Makanaka Mavengere in July.
