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
For more info and to reserve, call 062 502 0817 or write to

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) .

Somos os primeiros da 2ª série de 20!
Fico deveras surpreendido com a surpresa que tem gerado o anúncio de que Portugal é o vigésimo primeiro melhor país do mundo para se viver, o que nos eleva instantaneamente ao título de melhores da segunda série de vinte. Não parecendo à primeira vista grande coisa, constatamos à segunda que até pode ser. É que, sinceramente, se fosse na Eurovisão ou no Campeonato do Mundo de Futebol pronto, tudo bem, já estamos habituados e não haveria assim grandes razões para surpresas - mas aqui estávamos a contar com algo bem melhor, pelo menos, vá, algures entre uma das primeiras seis séries de três, ou entre umas das primeiras duas séries de nove!
Gerindo a tristeza, além da surpresa, quisemos saber mais. Mas só um bocadinho mais, que o saber, ao contrário do que se pensa, ocupa lugar.

Bolsas de (des)incentivo à criação artística
O contexto periférico das Ilhas, a par de outras circunstâncias altamente limitantes como o escasso universo de infra-estruturas e recursos (sobretudo na área académica) ou o centenário défice cultural nacional – agudizado nos Açores -, tornam a carreira artística profissional praticamente impossível. Desta forma, quase sem excepção, todos os cidadãos açorianos que a tal ambicionam se vêem forçados a abandonar as Ilhas. A que criadores, portanto, se destinam estas bolsas e qual a sua efectiva contribuição para os objectivos a que se propõem? A meu ver, nenhuma, porque profundamente erradas em designação, essência e aplicação. Passo a explicar, centrando-me quando necessário, na minha área de trabalho – a música.
