The objectives of the workshop:
· To help interested writers learn critical craft skills to improve their fiction writing
· To encourage writers with the potential of developing engaging stories for children to aim for publication
· To publish at least six books written by participants as an outcome of the workshop

The workshop leader is Muthoni Garland.

The cost of attending the workshop is Ksh 12,000. We will offer partial to full scholarships to those unable to pay the full amount but show great promise. Please submit a sample of your work for consideration to [email][email protected]

If we accept the work you develop during the workshop for publication, Storymoja will work with you to edit your work to international quality, offer standard author royalties and aggressively market your book.
