Open to persons who are interested in writing thrillers, satire, memoir, Y/A (young adult), poetry, creative non-fiction, literary fiction or children’s literature, among others, the Afro-Book Festival organisers have said that this year’s course will take place on video-conferencing platform, Zoom, from October 28 to 29, 2021 due to the Covid-19 situation in Ghana.
