In collaboration with the Jakes Gerwel Foundation, we proudly welcome Audrey Veronica Jantjies of Swellendam as our writer in residence in the Writer’s Room from the 18th to the 29th of June.

Miriam is an alumna of the Jakes Gerwel Foundation, where she refined her debut novel, As die katjiepiering blom, under the mentorship of Suzette Myburgh. Audrey is a regular writer on Netwerk24 and believes in telling stories about the people of Suurbraak and the world she grew up in. During her residency at the Oude Leeskamer, she will be working on her second manuscript.
