Yuwinn Kraukamp is tans in die Jakes Gerwel Stigting se Paulet Huis as deel van die Kommadagga-slhypskool, wat in samewerking met LitNet en Huisgenoot aangebied word. Dit is hardwerkende skrywers soos Yuwinn - wat sy kortverhale vir internasionale kompetisies inskryf - wat die stigting graag in Somerset-Oos verwelkom. Lees gerus hier.

We are delighted to have such a dynamic group of short prose writers at Paulet House as part of the Kommadagga Residency Programme, presented in collaboration between the Jakes Gerwel Foundation, LitNet and Huisgenoot. We salute these young writers who really work hard, not only on their writing, but also in ploughing back in the community. Our gratitude to Rachelle Greeff and Niq Mhlongo for leading the project.

Thérèse Hulme se boek, Praat jy!, is onlangs by die Breytenbach Sentrum se Tuin van Digters op Wellington bekendgestel. Hierdie boek is die resultaat van Thérèse se jarelange narratiewe terapeutiese sessies wat sy by verskillende skole aanbied. Die Jakes Gerwel Stigting is trots op ons jarelange verbintenis tot hierdie projek, waardeur jongmense gehelp word om deur die wonderkrag van woorde uitdrukking te kan gee aan hulle diepste ervaringe. Ons is uitsonderlik trots op die jong digters wie se gedigte in Praat jy!, opgeneem is. Dit is ’n boek met groot waarde – binne en buite die klaskamer.

Baie geluk aan Crystal-Donna Roberts met die bekendstelling van haar debuutroman vir jong volwassenes, Speurder Sammi, by die Stellenbosch Boekwinkel. Fiona van Kerwel het met Crystal-Donna gesels - wat nou nie net meer 'n befaamde aktrise is nie, maar ook 'n gepubliseerde skrywer! Sy was verlede jaar deel van die Jakes Gerwel Stigting en NB-Uitgewers se mentorskapsprogram, onder leiding van Suzette Kotze-Myburgh.
