Wienerstr. 45. would you be interested in displaying local publications at my
space? It won’t be like a shop but I have a big window display there and people
walk past all the time and look. if they are interested in buying them then they
can come inside, when i am there.” Contact her if you are interested at:

WRITING COURSES/PROJECTS:

Creative Writing in English

Always wanted to tell that story but no idea where to start? This course offers you a range of narrative tools to help you write the story you really want to tell. The first part of the course will focus on one particular tool (e.g. voice, structure, use of conflict, point-of-view, genre etc.) and offer helpful exercises. Please, note - this is a writing workshop and you will end up writing, not just talking about it. The second part of the course will allow people to introduce their work and receive custom-tailored feedback. You're guaranteed to expand your writing skills and to get help and support from an experienced writer and writing tutor.

Every Thursday 5th Nov. – 7th Dec. 2009 6-9pm in Berlin-Friedrichshagen

Prices: One session (3 hours) 25€/17€
All six sessions (18 hours) 112€/70€
