Those visits gave me insight into many aspects of African life, including the education system, where the poverty divide was painfully evident.

Shared values and interests, especially the tradition of storytelling and strong sense of community were key inspirational and motivating factors in writing Red God/Black God. (less)

I’d heard Jacqueline Wilson speak five or six years ago whilst studying for my MA in Writing for Children Read more of this blog post »
