Every Thursday hosted in English with performances in any language (or no language at all!) at the historic home of French Slam poetry, Culture Rapide (103 Rue Julien Lacroix, 75020). If you would like to read, dance, sing, or express yourself in any way, sign up is open and free to all, starting at 20.00-ish. We go until we drop or run out of performers!

A writers’ feedback workshop brought to you by Paris Lit Up.

Bring something you’ve been working on — prose, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or anything in between — and get thoughtful feedback from fellow writers.

Each writer gets a 20-minute slot, divided between reading their work aloud and receiving feedback from the group. How you divide your time is up to you — as a guide, 1,000 words takes around eight minutes to read aloud.

If you’d like to share your work:

• Bring at least 10 printed copies for the group.
• All genres are welcome.
• Reading slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
• If there isn’t enough time for everyone to read, those who miss out will be given priority at the next feedback workshop.

You don’t have to bring your own work to take part. Readers, listeners and thoughtful critics are equally welcome.

La Chope des Compagnons
86 Quai de l’Hôtel de Ville, Paris
Saturdays, 16:00–18:00 4pm–6pm

The workshop costs 5€, which helps Paris Lit Up cover the cost of renting the space. Cash and card accepted.

A weekly writing session brought to you by Paris Lit Up.

Every Sunday morning, we get together at Neuvième Sauvage for two hours of writing.

There are no exercises, workshops or assigned prompts. The idea is simply to have a regular time and place to sit down, work on whatever you’re writing, and do it in the company of other writers.

Bring whatever you’re working on—fiction, poetry, nonfiction, a screenplay, an essay, or anything else—and whatever you like to write with. Laptops, tablets, notebooks and pens are all welcome.

From 10:00 to 12:00, we write. There’s no pressure to share your work or talk about what you’re writing during the session. You can simply grab a coffee, find a seat and get some words down. Neuvième Sauvage also has good coffee and some nice breakfast options if you’d like something while you write.

At 12:00, once the two hours of writing are over, those who want to stick around are invited to share what they’ve been working on. You can read something aloud, talk a little about what you’ve been writing, or just listen. Other participants are welcome to offer some light feedback, and it’s also a chance to chat and socialise after the morning’s writing.

The Sunday Writing Sessions are free to attend.

Neuvième Sauvage
20 Rue Gérando, 75009 Paris
Sundays, 10:00–12:00

When you arrive, go up two levels. You’ll find us on the top floor.

All genres and levels of experience are welcome.
