What we're about

Mobfest is Africas first made for mobile content platform. With the current explosion of mobile and new media innovation, Mobfest aims to claim a space in South Africa where business and content creators can transact, consumers can be entertained, and local talent can showcase their wares creating for the mobile screen.

We're launching our first 'channel', a text/sms based channel, fiction for phones,
now there's a Novel Idea.

You can get short stories SMS'd to you daily for a month from top South African authors. Starting 7th July 2008 for 30 days, you also get to choose your favourite "mobilist" and the winner will be announced in August.

We'll have interviews with authors, exciting mobile writing news and you can start getting fiction direct to your phone! Just register your details in the NOVEL IDEA section to be part of this exciting new channel!

After this, we're opening it up to you - Jo Public can potentially become the next JK Rowling. Join in this new publishing platform where anyone can write and receive stories on their phone.
