Career

Abubakar Adam Ibrahim was born in Jos, North-Central Nigeria, and holds a BA degree in Mass Communication from the University of Jos.[2]

His debut short-story collection The Whispering Trees was longlisted for the inaugural Etisalat Prize for Literature in 2014,[3] with the title story shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing.[4]

Ibrahim has won the BBC African Performance Prize[5] and the ANA Plateau/Amatu Braide Prize for Prose. He is a Gabriel Garcia Marquez Fellow (2013),[6] a Civitella Ranieri Fellow (2015)[7] and a 2018 Art OMI Fellow.[8] Ibrahim was the recipient of the 2016 Goethe-Institut & Sylt Foundation African Writer's Residency Award.[9] In 2014 he was selected for the Africa39 list of writers aged under 40 with potential and talent to define future trends in African literature,[10][11] and was included in the anthology Africa39: New Writing from Africa South of the Sahara (ed. Ellah Allfrey).[12] He was a mentor on the 2013 Writivism programme and judged the Writivism Short Story Prize in 2014.[13] He was chair of judges for the 2016 Etisalat Flash Fiction Prize.[14]

His first novel, Season of Crimson Blossoms, was published in 2015 by Parrésia Publishers in Nigeria and by Cassava Republic Press in the UK (2016).[15] Season of Crimson Blossoms was shortlisted in September 2016 for the Nigeria Prize for Literature, Africa's largest literary prize.[16] It was announced on 12 October 2016 that Ibrahim was the winner of the $100,000 prize.[17][18]

Ibrahim is the Features Editor at the Daily Trust newspaper. Ibrahim's reporting from North-East Nigeria has won particular critical acclaim.
