SPRINNG Women Authors Prize (SWAP) Update

Dear publishers and authors,

We would like to inform you that Sprinng will not be hosting the Sprinng Women Authors Prize (SWAP) momentarily. We appreciate your understanding and patience. While we recognize the importance of supporting and promoting female Nigerian authors, we have decided to take a pause this year to reassess our approach and ensure that we continue to provide the best possible opportunities for writers and authors.

We remain committed to our mission of uplifting and amplifying the voices of talented female Nigerian authors. We believe in the power of literature to inspire, educate, and entertain, and we are dedicated to creating platforms and opportunities that showcase their work. 

Further announcements about the prize will be provided as needed. Until then, we will continue to engage with the literary community through publications, interviews, book reviews, newsletters, fellowships, and collaborations. We also encourage you to continue supporting our past winners by purchasing copies of their books and sharing them with friends and families.

2020 Winner - Cheluchi Onyemelukwe-Onuobia, Author of The Son of the House

2021 Winner - Ukamaka Olisakwe, Author of Ogadinma

2022 Winner - Bina Idonije, Author of Bridges Are For Burning

2022 Winner - Muti'ah Badruddeen, Author of Rekiya & Z

We appreciate your support and for staying connected with Sprinng.

Best regards,

Ebukun Gbemisola Ogunyemi
