metadata.value: Hausa literature is one of the well-studied African literatures. This paper explores Hausa creative
  writing, focusing both on the figure of author, marubuci, and the changes the concept of
  ‘author’ has undergone, motivated by social perceptions and demands. Modern mass media
  call attention in different ways to writers and their creative writing. Therefore, interviews with
  authors may provide valuable information, that has before now remained unexplored by the
  researchers, as well as some unique insights into the world of Hausa creating writing. Interviews
  constitute a particular genre in media industry contributing social communication and
  discussion. They also serve as a reliable source for understanding writer’s self-perception, and
  the perception of creative writing and authorship in the context of social and literary change.
  This paper explores interviews with several prominent Hausa language authors; among them
  are Shu’aibu Makarfi, Bilkisu Funtuwa, Binta Salma Mohammed, Hafsatu Ahmad Abdulwaheed,
  Ismail Bala Garba, Rahma A. Majid, and Bashir Abubakar Umar. The study seeks to prove
  that the nature of interaction between a writer’s self-perception and social expectations/ social
  perceptions for both creative writing and marubuci is a significant factor, that defines the development
  of Hausa literary movement. Moreover, that the development of Hausa literature
  in Northern Nigeria has been determined mostly by the self-perception of the authors, who
  aimed to improve literary tradition, and thus introduced new experimental trends, attitudes
  and forms into the literature. The study concludes that the contribution of modern Northern
  Nigerian writers to shaping the future development of Nigerian literature will definitely grow.
