Thank you for coming to Africa Writes 2018! 

We had an amazing weekend and hope that you have too.

Our two headline events, Saturday and Weekend Passes were completely sold out. People came from places as far flung as Germany, Senegal and Brazil to attend. We are bowled-over by the attendance and so encouraged at the ever-growing interest in African literature.

Thank you to all the guest writers, contributors, volunteers, partners, funders and audience members who made the festival a success!

Your feedback is really important to us, and to our funders. Please take 2.5 minutes to give us your thoughts on the festival.  Provide your email address to enter our prize draw for a £50 Waterstones voucher.

SAVE THE DATE – the next Africa Writes will take place Friday 5 – Sunday 7 July 2019.
