For the first time in a decade, we have a new identity in Writing Africa and we explain a bit about why this was so. We also talk about the winners of the Dylan Thomas Prize, Nebula Awards, Pulitzer Prize Prix Orange du Livre en Afrique as well as those shortlisted for the Island Prize. We also talk about some festivals like the 72 heures du livre Conakry which ran in April and the forthcoming Mogadishu Book Fair, Calabash Festival, and the Ake Festival.
