Leading African and African diaspora literary voices will take part in book readings, open mic poetry sessions and workshops as part of a major Exeter literary festival.
Africa Writes – Exeter features AKO Caine Prize winners Okwiri Oduor and Irenosen Okojie, Yewande Omotoso, author of The Woman Next Door , Tjawangwa Dema, author of an/other pastoral, Nikki May, author of Wahala, Karla Neblett, author of King of Rabbits, rapper, Silai Estatira, and poets Nii Ayikwei Parkes, Kadija Sesay George, Al- Saddiq al-Raddi, Bryar Bajalan and Nour Khairi.
Momentum is gathering for a three-day literary event in Exeter later this year after a hiatus because of the pandemic. Last year’s Exeter Literary Festival sadly had to be shelved, but now ExeLitFest (as it’s known for short) is delighted to unveil this year’s programme and open the Box Office.
If you love reading or writing, it’s time to bookmark these dates in your diary - 5th to 7th November - because that's when the Festival is returning to town, bigger and better than ever. A veritable smorgasbord for lovers of all things literary!
