Ope Adedeji was recently nominated for the 2020 Ellies for her prize winning story 'After The Birds' published by Mc Sweeneys as a collection of stories from the 2018 Purple Hibiscus Creative Writing Workshop, personally selected by Chimamanda Adichie.
She has worked as an editor for Ouida Books and is a Short Story Day Africa Fellow. We discuss her work with Arts and Africa, her identity as a writer winning prizes but still considered as emerging and how writing has changed her life.
Enjoy.
