Call For Ideas | Africa Writes 2018 | Royal African Society
The Royal African
Society’s annual celebration of contemporary literature from Africa and the
diaspora returns to the British Library! Every year we showcase established and
emerging talent from the African continent and its diaspora in what is now the
UK’s biggest celebration of contemporary African writing taking place over an
exciting summer weekend.
Call for Ideas
§ Do you represent an author that you think would
be perfect for Africa Writes?
§ Are you buzzing with an idea for a book launch
or workshop that you would love to see at the festival?
§ Do you have an idea for a performance event or
panel discussion?
From the seeds of an idea to a fully-fledged
plan, we would like to invite you to submit whatever ideas you might have, to
influence and help create the festival in 2018. The submissions will be then
reviewed by our advisory group, to work towards shaping the programme for
Africa Writes 2018. This in turn, will inform our applications to secure
funding for the festival to take place.
We aim for the process to be open and inclusive,
to reflect the broad community that makes up Africa Writes! All the individuals
and organisations whose submissions are part of the 2018 programme will be
fully acknowledged and credited.
If you don’t know much about Africa Writes, please take a look at the
2017 programme to get a sense of the kind of events that are usually
programmed. You can find the details here.
Submissions close 10 November 2017.
