Thank you for applying to the FARAFINA TRUST creative writing workshop.
I’m pleased to let you know that you’ve been accepted; your writing sample is one of the twenty-five selected from the more than one thousand entries we received. The workshop, in Victoria Island, Lagos, will start on September 17 at 10 AM and end on September 26 with a literary evening open to thepublic. The workshop will be an informal class and the format willloosely be this: a lot of reading of mostly short fiction, somewriting exercises, and discussion of work produced by workshopparticipants.
I will teach for the first few days, after which Nathan Englander, Jackie Kay and Binyavanga Wainaina will continue.
