This class is from 17:00 to 19:00 at Boekhandel van Rossum, Beethovenstraat 32, 1077 JH Amsterdam.

Get a feel for what our workshops are like. We’ll start out with a short talk on the keys to writing great fiction and poetry. Then we’ll break into small groups (8-12 people) where we’ll discuss technique and give you an exercise. You’ll get to do some writing and, if you’re so inclined, some critiquing. (Your choice whether you want to share your work with the group.)

Instruction is free. The €5 fee covers drinks, snacks and handouts. If you register for a friend, please include their name in the order notes. If for some reason you have to cancel and can let us know at least 24 hours before the class, we’ll give you a €5 credit that you can apply to a workshop or our next trial class.

We’ll be having wine and bites afterwards to celebrate our launch – we hope you can stay.
