Fiction Writers Workshop Geneva

[After many great free workshops in Zurich, which have helped people improve their writing and meet other writers, we're branching out to Geneva. We just need a venue that's willing to host for a small fee (or, ideally, no fee). If you'd like to join and know a suitable place, please leave a comment!]

Join us for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers.

A few notes for prospective writers:

1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer.
2. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction).
3. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals.
4. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something.
5. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards.
6. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback.

Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be.

We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!
