The workshop titled ‘The Writing Business 101: Writing, Publishing, Rights,’ is scheduled to take place on December 14 as a capacity building component of the festival.

Split into three sessions, Kan will facilitate the session on breaking down what it means to write and write well and Emasuen will give participants a handle on what is required to become a published author. There will also be an interactive panel discussion around the theme which they will both take part in.
