Bessie Head Heritage Trust packs exciting plans for writers

This time, Diamond Educational Publishers will sponsor the prizes for the writing competition. The competition this year will only be for short stories, and to improve the quality of the submissions the trust will hold a one-day short story writing workshop in Gaborone, to be facilitated by three past Bessie Head Literature Prize winners: Wame Molefhe, Wazha Lopang, and Lauri Kubuitsile.

“We realised that we needed a workshop component to the prize in order to develop and support our writers,” Trustee Mary Lederer said.
