Explore your creativity through fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
Writing Nonfiction
June 13 & 14
“Creative nonfiction” can take so many forms: the profile or feature article, the travel piece, the review, the personal essay or memoir, and more. Compelling nonfiction transcends the mere factual.
Writing about Food – New Edition
June 20 & 21
Writing about food can be deep, rich, rewarding. The goal of this workshop: to help you find your voice as a food writer. You’ll think, dream, and write about food.
The Novel
July 11 & 12
Writing a novel is often a marathon experience. The challenges are in starting; in keeping the faith; and, of course, in finishing.
The Short Story
July 18 & 19
Writing a short story is a wonderfully intricate process; we make countless creative decisions in the course of telling a single tale. During these two days, we’ll explore the most vital creative decisions and find what works for you as a storyteller.
Most writing happens when we're alone.
That’s why the 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, we offer a workshop or two. And while many of the topics may change, one thing remains constant: the Amsterdam Writing Workshops help writers write.
