Did you know about the IIP magazine🙂 You can get it in Nairobi from @kwanitrust and in Germany from #Iwalewahaus (Universität Bayreuth Wölfelstr. 2, 95444 Bayreuth) PS: We already asked about a possible online version so someone is hopefully working on it. Here is a snippet😉

"@kwanitrust Manuscript Prize picked me up when I had lost hope. The Global @cwwriters Prize 2014 introduced me to the international scene. But it was after @WindhamCampbell Prize that the literary world started to take me seriously.” - Jennifer Makumbi monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Peop…

Makumbi worked her way up to top of the literary world

You would write for free if you had to but you are an adult woman now, with a son. So you’ve settled down comfortably as a school teacher
