Celebrating Stories That Inspire and Connect

The Books & Choma Festival champions storytelling and creativity, fostering a community where writers, readers, and creators unite. We believe in empowering voices, sharing knowledge, and sparking connections that help storytellers turn their passion into thriving platforms.

About the Festival

The Books & Choma Festival is a quarterly celebration of stories, creativity, and community. It’s a space where readers meet writers, bloggers meet publishers, and storytellers meet an audience that values their voice. Whether your story lives in a book, a blog, a YouTube channel, a podcast, or your personal journey, this festival is for you. We believe stories are powerful. They heal, inspire, educate, and build movements. But we also believe stories can be monetised and we are here to help you do exactly that.

You don’t need to have a published book or a viral blog to be part of this. If you have something to say, something to share, or something to build, you are invited and yes, there will be Nyama Choma, because stories are best shared over great food.
