About us
Welcome to International Writers of Barcelona (IWB) Meetup.com!
They say "Writing is a lonely job", and being a foreign writer in a Spanish- and Catalan-dominated world can be even more isolating. But it doesn't have to be!
This group is for Barcelona-based expat writers of all genres and origins, seeking to support each other in their creative process, developing their creative circle, and getting inspired to write. It doesn't matter if you're a published book writer, an underground poet, a copywriter, or maybe someone who's drafting their first novel – we are happy to have you with us.
Our meetup events include intimate panels with published English-speaking writers living in Barcelona, various writing workshops, and opportunities to discuss our writing process and share tips on publishing, self-publishing, promoting our writing, etc. Join us and find your writing tribe!
P.S. If you don't dare to call yourself a writer just yet, join our big sister group, Naked Words where we explore journaling and other healing writing techniques. This group is for all the amateur words-lovers!

Barcelona Journaling Festival * 3rd edition!
Location not specified yetOur annual writing extravaganza is BAAAACK!
### Barcelona Journaling Festival is coming! ✍️✨
Love journaling? Curious about it? Use personal writing in your professional writing? Have 35 beautiful notebooks you’re afraid to ruin? Stationery fan? Love digging deep in your self-reflection process? You’re ONE OF OUR KIND!
Barcelona Journaling Festival is a weekend of writing, creativity, reflection, conversations and plenty of good reasons to put your phone down and pick up a pen.
Come for the workshops, stay for the community, discover new ways to journal — or simply find out what all the fuss is about.This year's themes are: EMBRACE THE CHAOS & REWRITE YOUR STORY.
We will be journaling to explore the following topics: money mindset, overcoming creativity blocks (and other blocks, too!), modern dating, grief and loss, trauma, immigration, ancestry, the wisdom of your body, rewiring your brain, shadow work, childhood memories, and how to stay in love with life when everything seems to be falling apart.
Working with others? You'll also pick up tools for facilitating groups, using poetry therapy in coaching, and meeting colleagues (from all sorts of helping professional fields) from around the world!
Writing books? Learn how to get your book into the world through traditional publishing (with tips from our insider!), play with your childhood memories at the memoir-writing workshop, and tap into new topics for fresh ideas. You'll also meet fellow writers from everywhere!
There will be something for everyone. We'll get you pumped, inspired and full of insights.
No journaling experience required. No perfect handwriting required. Just bring yourself (we'll get a notebook or two for you – we know you'll love it!)
Let’s write it all out 💛
