Classes for You in 2009
Published - Paris Writers Workshop Student published by Bloomsbury
Thank you for all your hard work in organizing the PWW in 2006. I enjoyed it very much and got a lot out of Vivian Gornick's workshop. So much has happened since then. Bloomsbury bought my novel Moonlight in Odessa and it will come out in September 2009 in the US and February 2010 in the UK. Foreign rights were sold in eight languages.
Thank you for all that you do for writers.
Best wishes,
Janet Skeslien Charles.
Words about the Paris Writers Workshop 2009
Due to major changes and restructuring of WICE in 2008, the Paris Writers Workshop will be on Sabbatical in 2009 to study the present situation and the means by which we hope to continue in 2010.
Please contact us at: Paris Writers Workshop with your suggestions and ideas for a new edition of The Paris Writers Workshop.
We will recommend Workshops which will be taking place in Paris this summer which might be of interest to you. First in our list is John Baxter's Paris Memoir Masterclass. Please see the left column for all links.
All the best to you and your writing,
Marcia and John
On Sabbatical... just for a while... we will be back in touch soon.

Our Location and the Paris Literary Tradition
The Paris Writers Workshop takes place in the heart of Montparnasse, the city’s traditional artistic and bohemian quarter.
Workshops and Courses are conducted in the relaxing atmosphere of a 19th century building built around a secluded walled garden. We’re in walking distance of the great cafes – La Coupole, Le Dome, Le Rotonde, Le Select – where Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Man Ray, Henry Miller, Kiki of Montparnasse, Lee Miller and Salvador Dali met and socialised during the 1920s and 1930s, and which, closer to our time, were patronised by Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and the other writers of the Beat Generation.
