Lagos Books and Arts Festival

During this year's Lagos Books and Arts Festival I shall be hosting three events, two for adults and one for children.
The first of the events is titled The Joy of Reading, during which we'll be celebrating the sheer joy of reading.
For this year's joy of reading writers like Pearl Osibu, Tolu Talabi, Olubunmi Familoni, Adeola Opeyemi, Servio Gbadamosi, Kenetchi Uzochukwu and Femi Morgan will be in attendance to read portions of their favorite stories. The two hour event will be taking place on Friday the 15th of November, between 3 and 5pm.
The next event is a conversation amongst four of the most celebrated writers that has emerged this year on the Nigerian art scene. Three of them are poets, but one of the poets just wrote a book of prose(this is going to be so much fun!).
The writers are Igoni Barrett, Iquo Diana Eke, Tade Ipadeola and Sage Hassan. During the course of the week I shall be posting brief bios of the writers and short reviews of their books.
The event is titled Books of 2013 and will be held on Saturday the 16th of November between 4pm and 6pm.
The books will be available during the festival, the audience will have an opportunity to have their books signed and also have an interactive session with the writers.
The last event I'll be hosting is a spelling bee for children and it will be taking place on Sunday the 17th of November.
The Lagos Books and Arts Festival is an annual event that has been on for the past 15years and it is ALWAYS a fun time.
All events will be held at Freedom Park, Broad Street, Lagos Island.
