“How to become a writer?” — workshops with Ursula Glensk

We invite you to a creative writing workshop dedicated to family stories. We will consider how to collect materials, what to look for and what to read, how to write in your own style, and at the same time take care of the reader. The first part of the workshop will be an introduction and show examples, the second will be devoted to conversation and exercises.
