Malama Katulwende
Malama Katulwende is a Zambian author and thinker, born in the Luapula province of this Southern African country. A teacher by profession and educated in Catholic Seminaries and at the University of Zambia (UNZA), he first appeared on the literary scene with poems published in an anthology titled "Under the African Skies: Poetry form Zambia" in 2001.

In 2005, his novel "Bitterness" was published in the United States and launched him internationally as a young, promising African writer. For this novel, he was awarded the "2006 Julius Chongo Best Creative Writer in Zambia" at the Ngoma Awards Ceremony held in Lusaka. The book has been used by Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, among others, for its courses in anthropology.

In 2011, Katulwende published a philosophical collection of essays, "The Fire At The Core: Discourses on Aesthetics, Music, Jurisprudence, Ethno-Politics and Good Governance", in which he tackled recurring themes of Zambia's underdevelopment and political decadence. The treatises "Why Should We Obey the Law" and “The Clouds” in this collection of essays placed him as one of the most profound and interesting thinkers to have emerged from Africa, worthy of study.

In 2018, his collection of poetry titled "Drums of War" was released, which establishes him as a poet with great command of the African imagery.

His work at Knowledgegates, an Information Technology company he co-founded in 2006, led him to co-write and publish, in 2014, the book "Teach Yourself Computers: A Practical Guide to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher and Internet Applications".

Katulwende is the owner of the Thorn Bird Literary Agency in Lusaka and editor at the Zambian magazine "The Zambian Teacher."
