“Don’t give up, you have to believe that it is the right thing to do and it’s necessary. Find ways always to involve the press because literature is so important, it is an ancient craft of storytelling” – Maureen Duffy

[ANFASA @ANFASAmain]

“No use without payment - whenever there is a new technological advancement there must be an element that makes sure the creators are paid” - Maureen Duffy

“It is crucial that as we try to protect different species, we also protect cultural diversity and languages. It is vital that we support our writers and literature,” Maureen Duffy, poet, playwright and novelist

[ANFASA @ANFASAmain]

Nowadays you don’t get advances, we became to think how we can get compensation for our livelihoods and this is something that always needs to be done. Do you want legislation? If so you will have to convince governments and associations. You will need a campaign” – Maureen Duffy

[ANFASA @ANFASAmain]

We deserve to be paid according to international legislation. We must be encouraged to make our contribution to our cultural rainforest “- Maureen Duffy

[ANFASA @ANFASAmain]

“Librarians and authors work hand-in-hand thus librarians shouldn’t have a problem with the statement that says authors should be remunerated when books are loaned out” - Pierre Lesburgueres

Does dissidence fuel creativity? The answer is yes from Power of Authors panelist Richard Poplak. “It is an extraordinary time to write in South Africa. As writers we are negotiating an all-you-can-eat facts buffet and if we stay true to the facts, it will be quite powerful.”
