Welcome to the website for the Writers' Fund - an initiative aimed at providing opportunities and finance for young writers in Ghana and ultimately in Africa by raising funds for prizes and awards, and lobbying higher education institutions to offer free places to talented writers who seek to study their craft further. If you would like to help or contribute to this initiative, please contact Nii Ayikwei Parkes on fund [at] niiparkes [dot] com.

There are 5 ways to support this initiative:
1. Donations of cash via Paypal
2. Donations of Services by a message board
3. Donations of key books via our amazon wish list
4. Buying Nii's book "shorter", compiled to raise money for this fund
5. Volunteering your time in lobbying for us with your alma mater or a corporate sponsor

We launched this site in 2005 and have begun with a drive to raise $6500. At least half of the amount will immediately be used as the seed for a trust fund, while a quarter will go towards funding the first set of prizes in Ghana in late 2007.
