You get a chance to study with Chimamanda Adichie at the Farafina Trust Creative Writing Workshop! Chimamanda Adichie, Farafina Trust’s creative director, will host the creative writing workshop in Lagos, from June 21 to July 1, 2016. Binyavanga Wainaina, Aslak Sira Myhre and others will co-teach the workshop alongside Adichie.
At the workshop, accepted participants will be assigned a wide range of reading exercises, as well as daily writing exercises. The aim of the workshop is to improve the craft of writers and to bring different perspective to the art of storytelling.
