Aspiring Writers

How do writers draw from real life without being bound by it? What responsibility do they have to the truth and to their readers? In this conversation, Jayne Marshall and Carys Shannon explore the creative space where reality and imagination meet. The discussion will also consider how truth itself can become a storytelling device - a trope used to build tension, subvert expectation, or explore emotional weight within a narrative. Join Jayne and Carys for a thoughtful exploration of authenticity, invention and truth in storytelling. About the speakers: **Jayne Marshall** is fiction writer and essayist. She holds the master’s in creative writing, with distinction, from the University of Oxford. Her work has been published in magazines and anthologies around the world, including in the Bath Spa University affiliated Transnational Literature (UK), Prairie Schooner (USA) and as a finalist in the Aesthetica Creative Writing Prize (UK). Her debut story and essay collection, A Line Drawn or Printed: Six Routes Through Madrid, was published in June 2025 by Modern Odyssey Books. She is Associate Editor of The Madrid Review. ***[Buy her book here](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/a-line-drawn-or-printed/)*** **Carys Shannon** is originally from North Gower, Swansea, and now divides her time between Wales and the Spanish Pyrenees.

A special gathering to **discover The White Villa from the inside**. This is not a typical event. It’s a moment to understand the space, the project and the different ways the villa is experienced beyond the usual gatherings. We’ll share what happens here — from coworking and events to the community that is slowly growing around it. You’ll get to explore the house, the terraces and the atmosphere in a more personal way, and see how everything connects. This session is designed for those who feel curious about the project and want to be closer to it. We’ll also introduce **different ways to be part of the community**, for those who feel aligned and want to stay connected or get more involved over time. We’ll have drinks and time to talk in a relaxed setting, with a **small group and limited access to keep the experience personal**. **Some people visit The White Villa.** **Others become part of it.** **📍 Private villa in Barcelona** Participation is limited and **subject to approval**, to maintain the atmosphere and balance of the group. Exact address shared after confirmation Location: +34 699715905 You can get a feel of the atmosphere on our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thewhitevilla._/).

American novelist and screenwriter Luke Goebel will be visiting Barcelona to talk with us about his new novel KILL DICK. He will be in conversation with author Josh Denslow. Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, Kill Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction. “An insane portrait of L.A. in the vein of Easton Ellis and Didion… you never want to look away.” —Sophia June, Playboy “Captures the burning zeitgeist of our times.” —Kimberly King Parsons "A Lynch- and Kubrick-inspired portrait of Los Angeles.” —Kirkus Reviews ## About the speakers: **Luke Goebel** is an acclaimed author and screenwriter celebrated for his unflinching honesty and innovative storytelling. A recipient of the prestigious Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize and the Joan Scott Memorial Fiction Award, his debut novel, Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours, garnered critical acclaim for its innovative and precisely lyrical, profoundly resonant exploration of love, grief, and the restless search for identity. Goebel also co-wrote Eileen, starring Anne Hathaway and McKenzie Thompson, and Causeway, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry (who received an Oscar nomination for his performance). He is known as well as his role as co-editor at The New York Tyrant and work with Tyrant Books. **Josh Denslow** is the author of three books, including most recently Magic Can't Save Us. His most recent short stories have appeared in Electric Literature's The Commuter, The Rumpus, and Okay Donkey, among others. He is the Email Marketing Manager for [Bookshop.org](http://bookshop.org/), and he has read and edited for SmokeLong Quarterly for over a decade. He currently lives in Barcelona with his family.

¡Bienvenido a nuestro **taller disparador de relato corto** de los martes! No importa si tienes experiencia o si acabas de empezar. Todo lo que necesitas es algo para escribir y ganas de pasar un rato agradable compartiendo tu pasión por la escritura. El moderador planteará una consigna y dará entre 20 y 30 minutos con el objetivo de que estructures un relato (poema, reflexión, ensayo...). Después cada participante leerá su texto en voz alta y lo comentaremos entre todos. Una manera divertida de mantener en forma el «músculo» creativo y de encontrar tu propia voz literaria, mientras aprendemos unos de otros. Taquilla inversa. Se paga según la satisfacción.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
