That’s a wrap!

Paris Writers Workshop 2024 was one for the books! Set against the backdrop of Reid Hall, the beautiful Paris campus of Columbia Global centers, we spent an enriching week of writing, learning, creativity, camaraderie, and fun. Even the notoriously fickle Paris weather provided a solid week of spectacular spring sunshine.

The workshop centered around masterclasses in Novel, Short Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Screenwriting, and Travel Writing, taught by renowned writers who are also talented instructors.

Highlights included

  • Daily small group masterclasses in your selected genre
  • Individual meetings with your faculty instructor
  • Inspirational and practical guidance for your work in progress
  • Panel discussions focused on tools of writing and paths to publishing
  • Paris left bank literary walk
  • Optional pitch meetings with literary agents
  • Readings by your fellow writers and faculty
  • Social gatherings with an amazing community of writers from around the world
