Second Book Sprint set for October
On a single Book Sprint Day, in just 12 hours, volunteer creative teams work quickly to create beautiful Namibian children's books that anyone can freely translate, print and distribute.
The first Book Sprint Namibia event took place in 2022 and was sponsored by the German embassy in Windhoek and the Goethe-Institut Namibia.
After the success of the first edition, the two organisations are now planning to host a second edition of the Book Sprint, scheduled for 5 October.
Once again, the facilitators are looking for writers, illustrators and editors who are passionate about children’s literacy.
Interested persons are encouraged to fill out the Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1sqnpi7O7vu5XQDbnGDoFoLiRATAumdN_y1-Fhq1I8Uc/edit with your details and your experiences in the relevant area before 31 August.
Authors should include a written sample (English submissions only) of between 250 and 300 words. Illustrators, should also include your Instagram profile.
The books will be translated into other Namibian languages in due course.
For more information on the books created at the last event, visit https://www.goethe.de/ins/na/en/bib/bsn.html.
