Description

The process of writing a story or a novel never repeats in the same way twice. Sometimes the ending arrives before the beginning, sometimes the middle falls away and reveals an entirely different world. During these two hours together, we will think together, and experiment with, the originality that our own process makes possible: a continuation, a development, a movement forward. Process, from per (forward), cedere (to go) and ked (to yield).

There are limited spots available in our writing workshops, in order to ensure a quality experience for participants and instructors. If the workshop you are interested in is sold out, please email us to be added to the waiting list.
If you have purchased a workshop spot you can no longer use, please email us and we will connect you with someone on the waiting list, to whom you can sell your ticket.
