How to Sponsor PWW
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.

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.
