Writing Residency in Iowa

PRG member Zodwa Nyoni is going to be a participant in a Writing Residency this Autumn at The International Writing Program at the University of Iowa. Zodwa is a Zimbabwean-born playwright, screenwriter, librettist, and director. She’s currently an associate dramaturg for Tiata Fahodzi and Fifth Word Theatre; and a Lecturer in Scriptwriting at Manchester Metropolitan University.

The International Writing Program (IWP) is a unique conduit for the world’s literatures, connecting well-established writers from around the globe, bringing international literature into classrooms, introducing American writers to other cultures through reading tours, and serving as a clearinghouse for literary news and a wealth of archival and pedagogical materials. Since 1967, over 1,600 writers from more than 160 countries have been in residence at the University of Iowa.
