What to Expect

We pride ourselves in featuring the finest writers of African descent at Ake Festival. Our hour-long book chats are hosted by book lovers who tease out the juiciest secrets from our guest writers. From characterisation to plot, from writing style to thematic preoccupation, our book chats are lively and memorable. This year, we will be celebrating the magic of storytelling and the art of the written word with Petina Gappah, DK Nnuro, Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, Bisi Adjapon, Kojo Koram, Priya Hein, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, Segun Aganga, Omolola Ogunyemi and many more authors.
