Mulher Forte awards to recognize writers

The Mulher Forte African Literature Awards (Pty) Ltd company was registered on September 8, 2020 and its aim is to give recognition to literature in Africa. The company will create literature awards competition annually and interactive literature webinars, workshops and debates. “I was inspired by the love of African narrative and saw the need in the book industry market to create a platform that can give literature recognition. African writers from all over the continent are eligible to partake in these awards.

The rise of self publishing reduced the quality of books and let to a rise of more authors. Hence in Africa people write but do not gain anything out of it. Mulher forte was created to help reduce the rise of bogus publishers who scam people of their money online, so many young Africans can easily search reputable publishers from Mulher Forte African literature page on Facebook and publish,” she said.
