Most writing happens when alone. Amsterdam Writing Workshops exists to form a community around people who write, to secure a safe place for receiving writing feedback, to cultivate writing skill, and enhance power of expression. Each month, from September to June, they offer a workshop or two and while many of the topics may change, one thing remains constant: the Amsterdam Writing Workshops help writers write.
