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 Nnedi Okorafor, Musih Tedji Xaviere, Nnamdi Ehirim, Aiwanose Odafen, Umar Abubakar Sidi, Abi Dare, Fatima Bala and many more authors.
