The FLF is just around the corner and we are looking forward to another unforgettable bookish experience. Please join the following Karavan Press authors and Friends for a series of exciting events and workshops throughout the festival weekend:
Kerry Hammerton, editor of In Other Stories, will be running a few flash workshops this year. Participating authors will have an opportunity to submit their work to her second anthology of flashes.
The first of these takes place on Saturday, 1 February 2025, at the Cape Flats Book Festival and is FREE!
A wonderful opportunity to engage with the form and to attend a great book festival taking place at the same time! The anthology Kerry is compiling will be published by Karavan Press.
We had a full house at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront for the launch of In Other Stories, edited by Kerry Hammerton. Kerry was in conversation with Nancy Richards.
Most of the flash anthology contributors were present. A few are first-time published authors, which made the launch so much more special. It was an incredibly joyous occasion and a beautiful way to welcome the book into the world. Thank you to all for making it happen and to all who shared the celebration with us! Happy reading!
On 21 September, Kerry is running a flash fiction workshop in view of compiling the next anthology of flashes. Click here for details: FLASH FICTION WORKSHOP.
The themes in this FLASH anthology range from grief to hope; from love to unrequired love, divorce and murder (in a few different forms); from personal sacrifice to personal reflection. The stories vary from a fable to science fiction, and include a flashback to 1994 and South Africa’s first democratic election, fires, swimming in the sea, supernatural beings, the horrors of institutionalised elderly care and much more.
