Nou, na baie somers en tien gepubliseerde boeke, bied hy talentvolle storievertellers en skrywers \u2019n platform waarop hulle ook hul passie kan uitleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Di\u00e9 platform, Ns. Skrywershuis, is \u2019n webtuiste en boekwinkel waarvan die deure wyd oop is vir elkeen met \u2019n liefde vir Afrikaanse literatuur. Dit dien ook as \u2019n uitgewer met die bemarkingsleuse van \u201cjou argitek vir jou publikasie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOns almal het \u2019n storie om te vertel, veral ons Suid-Afrikaners. En ons soek \u2019n uitlaatklep vir al ons stories. In ander lande besoek mense sielkundiges \u2013 hier in ons land skryf mense hul harte uit as \u2019n vorm van terapie,\u201d s\u00ea Nico Schamrel, wat voorheen in die hotelbedryf was en deesdae \u2019n luukse lodge op \u2019n wildsplaas buite Uitenhage bestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtuele koffiekroeg en ere-gallery<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDit is hoekom ek Ns. Skrywershuis begin het \u2013 daar is s\u00f3 baie skrywers wat \u2019n platform soek waarop hulle hul boeke kan uitgee. Dit is \u2019n heel ander buite die boks-konsep, vars en kreatief. Daar is selfs \u2019n virtuele koffiekroeg waar lesers gedeeltes van hul boeke kan lees as bemarking van hul skryfwerk.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHoewel die platform nog jonk is, het ons al heelwat boeke gepubliseer en dit maak golwe in die bedryf. Daar is ook \u2019n ere-gallery vir mense wat help om onbekende skrywers se name uit te kry en s\u00f3 Afrikaans te bevorder. Johan Allers is die eerste eregas op die gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDit is moeilik om jou naam in die skrywersbedryf gevestig te kry. Daar is soveel goeie skrywers wat in die skaduwee sit van die groot name. Maar, Afrikaans is ons taal en ons moet dit lewendig hou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nico s\u00ea daar is heelwat uitblinker skrywers op die Ns. Skrywershuis-platform en hy noem \u2019n paar name op soos di\u00e9 van Bets Koen, Ernest Loth (digter), Karel Nel (\u2019n afgetrede plaaswerker uit die Koue Bokkeveld) en Riaan Palmer wat \u2019n uitstekende komiese skrywer is en wie toekennings ontvang het vir sy debuutboek <span><em>Die Heilige Koeie se Moe<\/em><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ander skrywers wat lof verdien is die digter Willem Breyl en Marika du Toit van Heerden, \u2019n uitstekende storieverteller en \u2019n maatskaplike werker van beroep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buiten Ns. Skrywershuis, het Schamrel \u2019n paar jaar gelede saam met twee teksversorgers, Bets Koen en Ron\u00e9l Dunn, \u2019n skrywersgroep begin onder die naam PENdit.za ter bevordering van die Afrikaanse verhaalkuns. Beide Bets en Ron\u00e9l is ook puik wanneer \u2019n manuskrip verhaalontwikkeling nodig het en Bets doen ook bladuitleg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die trio, Nico, Bets en Ron\u00e9l, tree eersdaags as beoordelaars op vir INK Skryfkompetisie, waarvan Karen Zoid ook \u2019n beoordelaar is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nico se eerste kortverhaalbundel, Engela, het in 2019 verskyn en bevat die kortverhaal <span>By Mooirivier se Brug <\/span>wat in 2019 \u2019n Croyez liter\u00eare benoeming ontvang het. In 2020 ontvang hy die Chris Barnard-prysbenoeming vir sy kortverhaal <span>Kaggen<\/span> wat opgeneem is in sy tweede kortverhaalbundel <span>Prente in my Kop<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skryfwerk om ander te help<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verlede jaar tydens die erge grendeltyd, het Nico \u2019n gebedeboek met skrywes van sestig bekendes sowel as skrywes deur Jan Alleman saamgestel met die titel <span><em>My Gebed vir \u2019n Boer<\/em><\/span><em>.<\/em> Al die geld uit die verkope van die boek word geskenk ten bate van slagoffers van plaasaanvalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nou is Nico besig met \u2019n nuwe projek wat hy in samewerking met die ATKV wil aanpak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk sal graag \u2019n skryfkompetisie wil re\u00ebl vir skoliere. Ons moet by ons kinders begin en sorg dat hul passie vir die taal nie verlore raak nie,\u201d se Nico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die weninskrywings sal in \u2019n kortverhaalbundel uitgegee word. Die opbrengste daarvan sal aangewend word om opvoedkundige leesprogramme by skole te ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vir meer inligting oor Ns.
