About SLS Kenya

Summer Literary Seminars in Kenya (SLS-Kenya) is the only creative-writing and cultural program of its kind in East Africa. Since 2001, we’ve been working to translate and transplant the invaluable and unrepeatable aspects of SLS-Russia’s many years’ worth of successful experience to our Kenya program, while simultaneously forging its entirely unique character. Working together with our partners at the Kwani? Magazine and Trust (East Africa’s most prominent and exciting literary organization), as well as a wide range of other writers and literary entities (Storymoja, the excellent, groundbreaking literary organizationa dn publishing venue), the SLS-Kenya program, and its SLS-Kenya-The African Perspective self-contained component, offer a two-week literary and cultural journey unlike any other: highest-caliber workshops led by some of the most talented and interesting contemporary writers and poets, stimulating readings and lectures -- with an emphasis on facilitating personal and artistic connections between the Kenyan and North-American writers.
