SAWC SHORT STORY COMPETITION

South African Writers' Circle to launch annual Short Story Competition.

The South African Writers' Circle will launch their annual Short Story Competition at Exclusive Books Westville on June 2. This competition is open to one and all and Brigitta Simpson will provide the details.

It is also the SAWC's 50th anniversary, marking a half century of great South African writing. Founded in Durban by Fay Goldie in 1960, the Durban Writers' Circle (as it was originally named) has produced some distinguished writers and award winners.

Also present at the launch will be Wendy Greeff (a past winner), Dr Deena Padayachee (winner of the Olive Schreiner Prize for prose) and Patrick Coyne (Chairman and past judge).

This is a unique opportunity to mingle with South Africans who are passionate about writing and have had the heady experience of holding their hot off the presses book in their hands.

The launch takes place at 17h30 for 18h00 on June 2 at Exclusive Books Westville at The Pavilion (cinema level). RSVP by May 31 to 031 265 0454 or email: westville@exclusivebooks.co.za
