In this workshop you will learn the most important steps to bring your first draft to a ready-to-submit manuscript. Bring anything you have finished, can be long, can be short, a total mess, or already brilliant. On the first weekend I will give you the tools with which to approach your text, and on the following Sunday we’ll share what we found out in order to give the others opportunities to learn. We gain much more knowledge from other texts and their creators than from our own and witnessing other writers having the same struggles gives us courage and strength to operate on our own creation.

You will leave the course with many ideas on revising, practical advice and a long list of books that will help you throughout your writing career.

Our course language is English. Your course instructor can answer your questions in German when required.
