I Want to Be a Writer

I Want to Be a Writer is a lyrical novella about ambition, migration, and self‑reinvention. A young woman leaves Nigeria for England to study Creative Writing, renaming herself Shakespeare and pursuing a future she believes awaits her. Her journey confronts displacement, pressure, and loss, reshaping her sense of success, identity, and art. Humorous yet reflective, it speaks to anyone who has crossed borders, begun anew, or found desire transforming them in unexpected ways.
