Call for Writers: April 20th Storytelling Session


April Storytelling Session is accepting admissions now! Every session has been unique, bringing new writers in Malawi into the spotlight. I believe we have achieved our first goal - dispel the myth that there are "no more writers in Malawi"

This time we have included writing prompts as a suggestion to spark a new story, but they are just optional. You can interpret them in any way you like!

Come and be one of the next group to bring the eager audience into their worlds. Follow the guidelines above and send your story storytellingmw@gmail.com

Something important happened when the Black Panther poster and subsequent trailer dropped (an unorthodox 8 months before the movie release date). The film was already greatly anticipated by comic book movie fans since the character's introduction in Captain America: Civil War, but the trailer for the 2018 solo film propelled it to new heights  I have felt from the moment Marvel's character Black Panther appeared in Civil War, that this was going to be something different, something special.

  We have all been there, left with mere hours until the deadline of a job vacancy you just found out about yesterday. Maybe you procrastinated too long like the overconfident hare from the Tortoise and the Hare, maybe you heard about it late.  Whatever the reason, it might be too late to do more than give your  résumé   a once over, however there are 3 updates (verified by human resources professionals) which you absolutely must do to give your application a better chance of being noticed. Or at the very least, you'll remove any major red flags which may reveal that you had to rush the application.  1.
