Introduction | I'm Lauri Kubuitsile. I'm a full-time, award-winning writer living in Botswana. I have numerous published books for both kids and adults, across various genres, and my short stories have been published around the world. I have won the Pan-African prize for children's writing, The Golden Baobab, twice. I won the Bessie Head Literature Award for short story, the 2007 AngloPlatinum Short Story Contest, and the Botswana's Department of Arts and Culture, 2007 Botswerere Award for Creative Writing. I was shortlisted for the 2011 Caine Prize. |
Interests | Reading, swimming, taking walks in the bush with my dogs, and spending time with my family. |
Favorite Books | Changes with almost every book I read. I love everything by Kate Atkinson, Margaret Atwood, John Steinbeck, and Andre Brink. |
