Writing Workshop: Historical Fiction

Would you like to start writing historical fiction? At this writing workshop, author Harald Voetmann, through presentations and writing exercises, will trace you into the topic, where hopefully you will be inspired to open up your writing. Perhaps you already have a time period in mind that you would like to write about, but it may also be that you just want ideas to get started. Everyone is welcome, regardless of writing experience.

Writing WorkshopsEvery month, Copenhagen Libraries invites you to writing workshops all over the city. The themes and trainers vary. Our writing workshops are not workshops, but stand-alone workshops of two hours in which lecturers give presentations, give participants exercises and answer their questions.
