How to Sponsor PWW

Cote d'Azur

Over twenty years, the Paris Writers Workshop has earned its position as the most successful and longest-running English-speaking literary event in France.

An independent association conforming to all French legal requirements for non-profit organisations, the Workshop has vigorously promoted the interests of all people, irrespective of nationality, who revere the art and craft of writing in English.

Located in Montparnasse, Paris's traditional artistic quarter, the Workshop embodies the city's rich creative history. Through literary walks, evening events held in a variety of locations, and in courses which take students into the parks and streets of the city itself, our participants gain a vivid experience of Paris's possibilities for leisure and tourism as well as for art.

We welcome sponsors who share our interest, and that of our participants, in the cultural patrimony and future of Paris. Your contributions will help us to maintain affordable fees, to offer scholarships to young writers of promise, and to maintain and burnish Paris's well-earned reputation as a city which, for more than a century, has inspired writers to greatness.

If you are interested in making a donation to the Paris Writers Workshop, please contact Linda Crofton, Director of Sponsoring, at lcrofton@wice-paris.org

Another PWW success story!
Natalia Sarkissian (PWW 2006) writes: "Congratulations on your lovely new website. I would love to attend PWW this year, but as a result of last year's short-story workshop with Manette Ansay I was awarded a merit scholarship by Vermont College, where I am currently enrolled! I can safely say it is all thanks to you and your wonderful program that my life has taken a new and unexpected turn."
