If you were selected to attend the 2016 Farafina Trust Creative Writing Workshop, you probably spent the weekend celebrating. Congratulations!
For a preview of the amazing experience you’re about to have, check out all the fun photos from last year’s workshop HERE. Read Eloghosa Osunde’s and Akwaeke Emezi’s post-workshop memoirs here and here.
In April, we announced that entries were open for the workshop [here]. Two days ago, the list of selected participants was posted on Fafafina’s website. The workshop organizers also announced a June 21st start date. The workshop ends on July 1 with a closing event that is open to the public.
In the past few years, young writers have come to see the workshop as a way to get a head start on the literary profession. It offers a 10-day writing-intensive retreat under the tutelage of Chimamanda Adiche and other high-profile writers from the literary community.
Congrats to everyone who made the list. We wish all the best!
