Writing Workshops in Zurich this Spring

Hello Yodelers,

If you’re interested in writing, this post is for you.

There are several writing workshops taking place in Switzerland this spring that may give you the inspiration you need to either get started as a writer or take your writing to another level.

First off, yours truly will be teaching a two-hour workshop at the American Women’s Club of Zurich on Saturday, March 26, on how to make a living as a writer abroad. The course costs CHF 30 and you must register by March 15.

Secondly, The Zurich Writers Workshop has announced its spring workshop and registration opened today. The workshop will take place May 6-8, 2011 and is divided into two sections, memoir/creative non-fiction and fiction. Guest instructors include New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Jane Gilman and award-winning Novelist Janet Skeslien Charles. The workshop costs CHF 250 and includes 9 hours of instruction, a literary tour of Zurich, instructor readings, coffee/snacks, and more. Registration is limited to 15 writers per section and is filling fast so it is advised to register as soon as possible if you would like to participate.

If you have any questions about either workshop, leave a comment. And if you know of any other writing events going on, please let me know.

I've signed up for the AWCZ workshop. Would love to go to the ZWW workshop, but was wondering if it would be too advanced for a newbie.
Should I take some baby steps before signing up for ZWW?

Chantal said...

That's great. Look forward to seeing you at the AWCZ. It's true that the ZWW is for serious writers, but it's also possible that it might serve as future inspiration.

Chantal,

Unfortunately, the March 26th date doesn't work for me, but I'd love to hear about the next time that you're teaching on the subject! Any plans for later this year?

Thanks so much!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your interest. No firm dates yet, but I will keep you posted.

Kathy said...

I am signed up for the AWCZ class ;-) I'm planning also take the plunge with ZWW too. I'm being all optimistic today and feeling sure I'll still be here in a few months.

Chantal said...

Kathy, that's great. Looking forward to seeing you at both events!

I can highly recommend the ZWW, as I took part last year. The best advice was 'put your bum on the seat and write', so I started blogging. It's a good discipline! Just FYI, there were quite a few newbies at the last workshop and they got on great.

Chantal said...

Thanks for your recommendation. So glad you enjoyed the workshop in October. And congrats on the blog!
