Simply Writing II: Completing It on the Page

The Amsterdam Writing Workshops Presents
Simply Writing II: Completing It on the Page

Are you trying to write fiction or memoir—and finding it hard to finish?

This workshop has one focus only: to help you complete one personal
essay during these two evenings.

Why write an essay?

Because, as the writer Carol Bly says, "an essay is 3,000% easier to
write than a short story." The essay is a scalable form. Essay writing
can help you:
> access the stories that you want to tell
> learn more about literary structure
> gain the confidence to actually finish every piece you write
> transition your skill to fiction and memoir

Non-native speakers of English welcome.

Monday and Wednesday, December 6th & 8th, 2010  6:00 - 10:00 pm
Venue: Amsterdam Central Library, Oosterdokskade 143
Fee: €150


Taught by: Lisa Friedman

The AnyBook Award Competition 2010

News taken from here



Can you imagine a machine that prints, binds and trims the book of your choice within 5 minutes? It actually exists! It's called the Espresso Book Machine! And The American Book Center has bought the first machine in the Netherlands and continental Europe! On Saturday, December 11th, 2010 ABC will launch an exciting new service by cranking up Europe's first Espresso Book Machine for the very first time at our Amsterdam store.



Be a part of this printing revolution and help ABC publish a unique book by creating something for us on the topic Redesign the World (the theme of this year's PICNIC conference). You can write any sort of text, or conjure up any sort of image: we'll consider anything and everything as long as it looks good in black and white. (for example: prose, poetry, interview, essay, cartoon, photograph, drawing) .
