The Jacana Literary Foundation has announced the lists of highly commended and finalist writers for the inaugural Dinaane Debut Fiction Award. The award, previously known as the “European Union Literary Award”, celebrates an outstanding fiction manuscript from a debut writer.
Gail Dendy was honoured with the title of “Highly Commended” for her submitted novel, Rina. This achievement adds to her already impressive literary C.V. of sorts. Last year, Dendy was also awarded a commendation at the Poetry Space Competition for her poem, “The edge of the world”.
Dendy is a recent addition to the KZN Literary Tourism writer archive. You can read more about her here.
