Saturday 17 October, 2026 7:10 PM – 8:30 PM Africa/Accra Goethe-Institut / Inner Courtyard Pamm Takyiwaa · Ursula M. Abanga · Makafui "Lust in Translation" returns to Pa Gya! for its tenth edition, this time turning the lens from the page to the reader. This is a reader-forward panel and an immersive experience exploring why we read romance and erotica, what keeps readers turning pages (or scrolling threads), and what Ghana's fan fiction communities look like. The session interrogates the porn/erotic binary that has long confined romance and erotic writing to whispers and shame, and closes with practical, shareable answers on how to market and celebrate Ghanaian romance writers, for booksellers, publishers, platforms, and readers alike. #pagya #PaGya2026 #writerspg
