Sorry for the frequent mentions, but Writer Abroad is a little excited about the upcoming workshop in Zurich. Finally there is something in Zurich for people other than bankers, lawyers, and ladies who lunch.Anyhow, yes. There will be a writers workshop in Zurich featuring Novelist and University of Oxford Fiction Tutur Amal Chatterjee and New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Jane Gilman. It will take place on October 1-3, 2010.
The workshop will be divided into two sections, fiction and memoir/creative non-fiction. Participants will receive over 8 hours of instruction in their chosen area as well as a literary tour of Zurich and the option to participate in possibly the first literary dinner ever that includes big bowls of melted cheese.
Today is the official website launch. Hope to see you over on www.zurichwritersworkshop.com. Click here to sign up for the mailing list so you'll be the first to know when registration opens in August.
Also consider joining us as a sponsor. Yes, we like money (we live in Switzerland, after all), but more importantly we love help with spreading the word. If you can mention the workshop on your blog, mailing list, magazine or website we'll be glad to include a logo and link to your business/website/blog on our website. Danke and merci vielmal!
That sounds really cool! If it weren't during Oktoberfest (and the stampede of visitors that brings), I'd consider coming to Zurich for it.
ReplyDeleteWho needs beer when you can have writing instruction?
ReplyDeleteNever mind...
Sorry you won't be able to make it!
Hi Chantal, I know more information is to follow, but do you know yet what the workshop fee is going to be (approximately)?
ReplyDeleteHi Herspective. Thanks for your question. Yes, the fee will be CHF 250 = which equals about $235 or 180 EUR. This includes over 8 hours of instruction time as well as the literary tour of Zurich.
