Hello
Pls when is your next creative writing workshop? Are the entries going to be opened soon? Please let me know if it is the same guidelines as last year so that I can start writing!
Such profound and perceptive words there. Listening to Chimamanda made me feel like I am a part of significant history. Thanks for the opportunity. To say the least, I am proud of Chimamanda Adichie.
