Welcome to the Gambian writers' website

This website has been built up to address the ardent need to promote Gambians writing. We urge those who have any contribution to send it to us. We thank all those who make this venture possible.

We hope our modest contribution in documenting works of Gambian writers and researchers will help you as you surf through these pages.

Good reading!
