Comments on: KWANI? http://kwani.org/main/kwani/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:01:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ismael http://kwani.org/main/kwani/comment-page-1/#comment-2392 Ismael Sat, 19 Jun 2010 06:13:45 +0000 http://kwani.org/main/?p=3#comment-2392 I think this believe also tends to reduce writers' confidence. A writer won't have that writing spirit if he knows there's no one to read his story and even if he sent his work to a publisher, it may end up not seeing the light of the day! because many publishers are interested in books that would generate them instant cash - and that is text books. I am convinced Kenya has some of the best writers in the world the only thing lacking is direction, they don't know how to go about publishing their work or they have been frustrated by the saying, "There's no one in Kenya to read your work!" I've launched a service to enlighten writers on some of the best markets to direct their hard sweat and if interested, you can send the word, "Money" to 4445 to receive daily updates for different markets around the world as well as freelance writing jobs.

You say something there that struck a cord with me. Literature is in high school dreary, hard and a must learn rather than a 'nice to learn'. how about having a kwani Club in high school and publishing short stories from high school. I know that ministry of education is looking for input into refining the system (8-4-4) and I hope that Kwani is getting in there and influencing that? Well done on the blog.
