You may submit Poetry, Fiction (Flash fiction, Short Stories, etc.), or Creative Nonfiction (Essays, Book Reviews, etc.). Writers can submit on a theme(s) of their choice. Work(s) submitted should not have been published elsewhere (on a literary platform, personal blog, or social media page).

The SprinNG Writing Fellowship (SWF) is an intensive 6-week online mentorship program for developing Nigerian and Ghanaian writers with great potential and willingness to learn and develop their craft.
This fellowship focuses on Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Book Review, Play/Drama, and Blogging. During the 6 weeks, mentees will be in contact with their mentors, sending them their works and getting reviews and commentaries. Mentors and mentees will aim to work on at least 1 piece of writing in their select genre per week. The SprinNG Creative Writing Fellowship is only open to writers who have not published a book before (eBook/hardcopy). The medium of communication between the mentors and mentees throughout this program will be via email, phone calls, WhatsApp, and text messages. All mentees will be provided weekly N500/¢10/R29 airtime during the program. Comments are closed.
