ENTRIES for the Ekurhuleni Creative Writing Workshop are now open.
It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword; hence the City of Ekurhuleni seeks to sharpen its citizens’ writing skills through a Creative Writing Workshop. Dates for the workshop are still being finalised. However the city has opened for applications, which close on Friday, 4 March, at 16:30. A total of 40 writers will be accepted into the programme and will be tutored on writing blogs and how to package, publish and market their literary works on different platforms including the web.
“Through this workshop, the City of Ekurhuleni aims to afford those who are passionate writers the opportunity to hone their skills, free of charge, so that they may be catapulted to the next level of their journey as creatives,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe. The outcome of the project will also include the production of an anthology of 10 short stories written by the top ten best performing candidates. Application forms for the Creative Writing Workshop are available at and must be submitted at any of Ekurhuleni Libraries during library operating hours. Preference will be given to registered Ekurhuleni Library members. Membership is free of charge to all residents of the city. For more information, those who are interested may contact Bafana Mohulo on 011 999 3408 or email bafana.mohulo@ekurhuleni.gov.za.
