The Paris Prompt: A French Literature Writing Workshop

A literary writing workshop for English-speaking creatives in Paris

Step into the minds of France’s literary greats — and channel your own voice through theirs.
In this intimate, English-language workshop, we explore the richness of French literature without the language barrier.

You'll hear two short texts (one classic, one contemporary), translated into English — think Proust, Hugo, Slimani, or Faye. Each excerpt is followed by a creative writing prompt inspired by the themes or style of the text.
You’ll then have time to write your own piece, followed by a gentle, supportive group reading and feedback session.

Whether you're a seasoned writer or just curious, come experience Paris not as a tourist — but as a writer.
