About Write Away Magazine
Who is Write Away Magazine?
Simply put, we are the home of the South African story. South Africa is one of the most beautiful, welcoming, and complicated countries in the world. Most South Africans have a very perplexing relationship with our homeland. Worse, it is almost impossible to explain what it means to be from, and away from, South Africa. That is why Write Away Magazine exists. We are a place for all South Africans to share their piece of the South African story.
Write Away Magazine is the brainchild of Dr Martin Challenor and Nyameko Ishmael Bottoman. They met in China while working for Ningbo Focus magazine. They bonded over their love for writing and lamented the absence of a place where all South Africans could tell their story. There were many magazines but there was a certain barrier of entry for anyone who wanted to tell their story. It was from this need that Write Away Magazine was born.
