Congratulations to our students who have achieved publishing success over the past two months. We are so proud of you!
Well done to one of our Afrikaans students, Ronel Mostert.
Ronel completed the Advanced Creative Writing Course in 2014 and her novel, Dubbele Wonderwerk (A Double Miracle) was approved by Kwarts Publishers and will be available as an e-book in August. Kwarts Publishers will also assist with the printed version.
In the meantime her first short story was published in the April edition of the woman's magazine, Sarie.
Her short story on Vrouekeur's website was chosen as the best short story for April 2015. In September 2015 another short story will be published in Vrouekeur.

Martin Steyn, who completed the Writers College Creative Writing Course in 2011, had his first novel, Donkerspoor (Dark Trail), published by Lapa last year. The book was an instant success and best-seller, with critics heralding Martin as an interesting addition to Afrikaans crime fiction.
His second book, Skuldig (Guilty), was recently published to even greater acclaim.
With two excellent novels under his belt, Martin is here to stay, and readers can expect more top-shelf suspense from his pen.

Well done to Megan Frith - a graduate of the Writers College Short Story Course and our Novel Writing Course. She recently placed third in the 2015 Page & Blackmore Short Story Competition in New Zealand for her short story titled "Till Death".
