The virtual workshop is slated to take place from 7th to 9th January 2021. It will be facilitated by some of the best poets and storytellers in Africa. The good thing is, it is absolutely free but there are limited seats.

According to the announcement, “it is a series of virtual creative workshops designed to help Ghanaian and African writers harness their writing talent and become more capable and confident writers.
