The Bessie Head Heritage Trust workshop

Friday, August 14, 2015

Writers came together at Maru-A-Pula School (thanks for the room, MAP!) for the Bessie Head Heritage Trust (BHHT) short story workshop on August 1. It was a one-day event packed with information for writers. The objective was to improve the quality of the submissions for the Bessie Head Short Story Award later this year.

Writers around the country were asked to submit a 500-word story if they were interested in attending the workshop. From there 22 writers were chosen.

Sadly, of the 22 only 10 managed to attend, but at least those 10 seemed committed to writing and improving their stories. I hope we’ll find their names among the winners later this year.
