About Littcon

This conference aims to highlight local literature and to demonstrate the urgent need to expose the nation and the nation’s children to the valuable store available to them. For this purpose, the conference committee has assembled a dynamic group of writers, both renowned and budding, who are making their mark on the literary landscape and whose works should be made available to students from primary to tertiary levels of education. An author’s calendar is being constructed and will be made available online. The conference also, of course, makes room for critical and educational responses to the writers which completes the partnership that makes writers write.
