Dogters Van Sahara

Biographie de Susan Meiring

I was born on the 15th November 1971 in Klawer, Western Cape, South Africa. I moved to Cape Town at an early age and grew up in Retreat. I always loved writing and in 2012, i decided to take my love for writing to the next level. A local newspaper gave me a platform as freelance writer and published my short stories (Betaal met jou liefde en 'n Tweede kans). In 2014, I received a 100% author's grant from NLSA (Centre for the Book).
In 2016 i launched 'Dogters van Sahara' through Reach Publishers and became an activist for heritage preservation of Khoisan Languages. In 2018, with assistance of NLSA, launched my investigative teenage book 'Tiaan en die Jagtersbend. In 2021, Tiaan en die Jagtersbende was chosen as the Afrikaans book to be reviewed for the Funda Mzantsi Reading Competition across the country. It is during 2021, that I became a freelance editor for Tshienda Publications, until 2023.
In the beginning of 2022, I was offered an opportunity to work as freelance field journalist for a digital broadcasting platform, Atlantis Alive. September 2023, i was selected as a finalist in the Jakes Gerwel Short Story Competion.https://www.facebook.com/JakesGerwelFoundation/posts/on-heritage-day-the-jakes-gerwel-foundation-celebrates-the-richness-of-the-south/826445446148573/Published work 2023/4* Die dag toe Jeffrey gekies het - Media24/Die Beeld* Rainbow Primary celebrates in style - Paulet House Stories* My taal ...
