I also have stories in a number of anthologies. In 2012, I was a writer in residence at Writers Omi International (Ledig House), New York. My first novel, Stay With Me was short-listed for the Kwani? Manuscript prize and will be published by Kwani? in 2015. I serve as a fiction editor for Saraba Magazine. I hold B.A and M.A degrees in Literature in English from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife and recently obtained an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. I'm a 2015 Hedgebrook Writer in Residence. |
