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 β 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!

Summer Writers' Retreat by Girls Who Write
Barcelona, -, ESβπ» Run away with the Girls Who Write club this summer and make time for your writing β this will be a long weekend to remember!
Barcelona in the summer is the vibe...however, it gets really touristy, hectic and sticky...Imagine getting away from it all to a beautiful secret mansion to focus on your writing, while everything else is being taken care of! A long weekend to slow down, put pen to paper whenever you want, read by the pool β and meet like-minded women who love writing as much as you do. Whether you're visiting or a local, this is the creative escape you need this summer.π‘ We are gathering in a perfect secret spot in Barcelona: far away from all the noise, but close enough to the center in case you want to get in and out on your own. Our beautiful hillside mansion features AC, pool and sauna β and nine individual rooms perfect for resting. You'll feel like you're away in nature...while being two metro stops away from all the buzz :) Here, nothing will distract you from writing!
π What you'll be working on?
Whether you're exploring self-discovery through journaling, crafting a memoir, creating short stories or poetry, or finally bringing that long-planned book to life, I aim to offer you a safe, nurturing space to connect with your words and creativity.
Dive into cherished childhood memories, share fascinating anecdotes from your life that could inspire a captivating story, or pour your deepest emotions onto the page and witness how your perspective transforms. I believe every woman is a natural-born storyteller, and every girl's life is a compelling book waiting to be written. Letβs uncover yours!What to expect:
π Journaling Workshops: Dive deep into your emotions, memories and experiences through guided journaling sessions, unlocking the power of self-expression and introspection under the guidance of Marusha, founder of Girls Who Write, Naked Words and Barcelona Journaling Festival.
π Writing buffet: try creating a memoir, a profound dialogue, a book character based on a person dear to your heart (even if you don't have any book in the works yet!) and explore some controversial topics in a safe, supportive community.
π Sunrise SUP at Barceloneta. The most magical thing you can do in the summer in Barcelona β watch the sun rising from the horizon and waking up the city, while gently rocking on the waves. It's safe and fun! You don't even need to know how to swim. Bring your journal if you dare :)
β¨ Deep Connection to Self: Throughout the day, immerse yourself in moments of stillness and self-discovery, cultivating a profound connection to your innermost being and fostering a sense of inner peace and alignment. We'll enjoy guided forest-bathing (sinrin-yoku) and embodiment sessions as well.
π€ Amazing food! We'll be served lovely meals cooked by our private chef. The menu is Mediterranean, organic, and absolutely scrumptious! We'll take good care of you...while you write :)
