The Association of Nigerian Authors represents Nigerian creative writers at home and abroad. It was founded in 1981 with the novelist Chinua Achebe as President. Its aims and objectives are to encourage and promote Nigerian literature; to encourage the collection, reading and transcription of oral literature available to the public through translation from the original language into other Nigerian and non-Nigerian languages; and to promote the interest of writers in all that concerns their profession and well-being and to protect their rights as writers.
It produces ANA Review: An Annual Journal of the Association of Nigerian Authors dedicated to scholarly criticism, book reviews, essays, interviews, tributes, travelogues and creative writing.
This year, the preface to ANA Review was written by Hyacinth Obunseh. The new issue features poetry by Dumbiri Frank Oboh, Tade Ipadeola, Ahmed Maiwada, Henry Ajumeze, Benjamin Ubiri, Aj. Daggar Tolar, Akunna Vivian Fadola; and short stories by Alpha Emeka and Olubunmi Julius-Adeoye.
