Please note: The event takes place in Venice, in person, from December 1st to 6th.
Workshop description:
Jan Morris, Italo Calvino, Joseph Brodsky… Venice has captured the imaginations of writers throughout history. The Venice Workshop will be a four-day deep dive into the writing of Venice, while we live and breathe it. Join writer and facilitator Demi Anter in exploring poetry and prose inspired by La Serenissima, and discover ways of telling your own Venice stories.
For four enriching days during the evocative winter season, we invite five to twelve participants to engage in lively discussion, dedicated reading and writing time, constructive critique, and eye-opening creative foraging walks—while experiencing all of the beauty and excitement of the historical city at your fingertips.
Take part in deep textual analysis, identify strategies that help writers communicate a sense of place, and learn to access all the senses as we write and adventure through Venice together.
The outcome is a new way of looking at the world, engendering confidence for every new piece of writing you approach, whether poetry, travel writing, prose, or memoir.
This course is suitable for writers, artists, students, and the creatively curious of every genre and level.
