Learn how to read your writing for an audience with confidence and verve. This workshop will meet on Sunday, 7 April 2019 from 14:30 – 17:00 at Boekhandel van Rossum, Beethovenstraat 32, 1077 JH Amsterdam. Stay afterwards for drinks and snacks. Class size is 10-15 people.

Pretty much everyone is nervous about reading their writing in public. But it’s an important part of what writers do to promote their work. Even if you aren’t interested in becoming a professional author, public readings are a wonderful way to share your voice. We host readings for our writers two or three times per year and in Amsterdam alone you’ll find around half a dozen open mic nights per month.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

• overcome your fears and limiting beliefs through a series of fun interactive exercises
• animate the words on the page and connect to your audience

Not only will you learn to be more comfortable sharing your personal work in front of an audience, you’ll have fun too! And this workshop will help you become a more confident speaker and presenter.

To participate all you need to bring is a double-spaced page from a story or essay or a short poem (ideally your own work :)) and a willingness to play.
