The Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) is set to hold a panel discussion via Zoom from 3:00PM to 5:00PM on Saturday, 15th of August, 2020.

The panel is part of the agenda of the leadership of ANA, as envisioned by Mr. Camilkus Ukah who has described it as the begining of “a new literary series” that will enable the writers' community to touch base with how the industry is responding to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis and adjusting to what “the new normal” may look like going forward.
