    HI,
    Am an interested participant for the fiction writing workshop that will be held in Nairobi. I come from Nakuru and with the election violence that had plagued the country, I haven’t been able to access the web.I have just learned today, 10/1/08 that the deadline for submitting manuscripts was on 07/1/08. Owing to the current events that have been going on in the country, could you kindly please extend your deadline to cater for those aspiring writers who have been affected by the post-electoral ongoings.

    Thank you.

    This is a welcome initiative by Kwani.There are many budding writers out there,most of them greenhorns but writers nonetheless.They would benefit immensely from such workshops.I pray,in future we diversify into catering for all forms of literary genres.Thank you for the good work.

    I read the advert on the workshop late but I stil see this as a calling to bring out the writer in me.Owing to the violence that has rocked the nation writers
    like me who have finalised secondary education would like to particioate.
    Am only 17 and would want to reach and go further than Binyavanga Wainaina and Muthoni Garland who made me realize that the pe is mightier than the sword if we wield it well.
