About

SILHOUETTE is a creative writing blogsite, managed by the host writer, Akunna Olomi, and assisted by occasionally-featured guest authors and contributors.




Our primary objective is in two folds. First, to lift read-worthy sleeping manuscripts off limiting shelves and folders to the fun of readers and critics. Secondly, to entertain and inspire creativity in others with thrilling contents which reflect real life experiences.


In view of differing choice and preference in genre, effort is in motion to present the entertainment in the forms of Prose (Novels, Novellas and short stories), poetry and play. In addition, Photo contributions will be periodically featured in an interactive column.


Visitors are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of the Silhouette experience with their likes and constructive comments. With you all, it can truly be fun!
