Bookish Things Bookfest Cape Town hasn't added a story.
A Bookfestival with a Cause and message.
Bring back our libraries!!
Think international guest author celebrities, readers, local and
indie authors all under one roof making a noise to raise the
importance of literacy on our continent.
Panels, workshops, coffee, book expo, food, giveaways, and
international celebrity Keynote speakers in Cape Town.
A Book Festal like South Africa has never seen before.
A portion of our ticket sales go toward raising funds for the
Lumin foundation.
I can give you the the sob story of how our country like many
countries world-wide are in a desperate struggle to keep literacy an
important subject matter in schools. But I won't sadden you with the
devastating facts, instead I will tell you how this book festival
could change the hopes, dreams and inspirations of not only the
youth but the book and publishing sector in Africa over all.
We hope to establish such a huge festival / convention that
will invite and attract the likes of international book-world
celebrities. We are thinking Comic Con big. With panels, workshops,
talks and more. To celebrate the book world with everyone, to
collaborate, inspire and instill a message that literacy
is
the foundation of all societies. With such a huge event in the
name of books and publishing, it will put our Cause on the map, turn
some heads and hopefully spark interest with important people who
could join in, and invest in our book loving communities and start
giving writing and reading a chance. Perhaps we could spark the
comeback of school and public libraries in communities all over
Africa! -
big dreams take big actions to make them come
true.
Together we can.
