For the young authors who won a publishing deal with the Charmza Literacy Club in Knysna, 2023 has presented itself as the year of opportunities. Charmza, in collaboration with the Knysna municipality, hosted the Emerging Writers Workshop on November 4-5 at the Masifunde Library. The workshop was offered to up-and-coming writers to experience a curriculum designed to develop and support their imaginative writing across different literary genres.
