S2E1: Literary Festivals: Are They Worth Your Time, Money and Travel?

We missed you and are so glad to be back for another season on the podcast!

When we closed for season one, we set out to find out all we can about Literary Festivals on the continent, are they worth your time, money and travel? How is curation done? What would we do different if we curated our own festival? Would we recommend that you save up for the next LitFest in your locality? In the last few months we attended 2 Literary Festivals – The Macondo Festival in Nairobi, Kenya and the Ake Arts and Books Festival in Lagos, Nigeria and boy, do we have stories for you!

On this first episode of the season, we unpack Literary Festivals on the continent as talk about our individual experiences at both Macondo and Ake.

  • How did we get to attend the festivals?
  • What were our best and worst experiences?
  • How were the authors we met?
  • Who are the audiences of literary festivals?

We also speak to two amazing guests and they share their own experiences at literature festivals.

Are Literary Festivals really worth your time and money? Listen in to find out.

If you have attended a LitFest or are planning to attend one in the near future, let us know all about it! Let's keep the conversation going on our social media platforms.
