ANA releases Nigerian Writers Series (2)
After close to a year of
painstaking activities, the Association of Nigerian Authors [ANA] is pleased to
release the list of successful manuscripts and authors for the second phase of
its Nigerian Writers Series [NWS] programme, drawn from submissions received
from across Nigeria.
It would be recalled that the call
for submission for the second phase of the Series which was earmarked for the
children’s literature genre was announced on the 25th of May,2016 with a
deadline set for 15th July,2016. The deadline was later extended to
5th August,2016 .
The Association announced three
Series Editors—Prof. Uwemedimo Enobong Iwoketok, Omowunmi Segun and
Ikeogu Oke— after its National Executive Council meeting in
February,2017. A total of thirteen (13) submissions were received after the
expiration of the final deadline.
Following an exhaustive assessment
of each manuscript received, it is the independent opinion of the Series
Editors that the following manuscripts merit consideration for publication in
the second phase of Nigerian Writers Series.
