Winnie Akello Shayo

Writer focused on poetry, Mukono

  • 🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda
  • Since 1981
  • English, Swahili
I've been writing since 1981. First as a hobby, then as a job and finally as the thing I couldn't stop doing. I run a small writing group that meets every second Thursday. I never rush a conversation. If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.

More about Winnie

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
What gifts mean to Winnie: Any gift will help me print a small run of my next book.
