SATURDAYS : 7, 14, 21, 28th Nov… THE OTHER WRITERS’ GROUP. Meeting 5pm till 7pm every Saturday. Suggested donation for taking part: € 5. David Barnes, facilitator, explains: “I set up The Other Writers’ as a space where creative writers can read their work and offer feedback and criticism. It has been running since February 2005. During this time we’ve heard poetry, fiction, extracts from novels, biography and travel writing. The aim is to give useful and honest feedback while nurturing writers. The Other Writers’ is born out of love of writing and anyone who shares that passion can take part. But it’s become increasingly professional in the level of criticism and support given to the poets and writers who come. AT: Shakespeare & Co., 35 rue de la Bûcherie, Paris 5ème. M° St Michel. http://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/

Say more with less: On four November Sundays, be part of a small group of WICE writers who will ponder Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s theory, "Poetry: the best words in the best order", as you practice working with imagery, allegory, allusion, and our elusive friend—the metaphor. Led by Shakespeare & Company’s most dedicated workshop facilitator, David Barnes, you will not only read and discuss exemplary works of concision, but will also generate new writings for group feedback. Try your hand at poetry, flash fiction or just sharpen your skills for blogs, emails, and those ever popular holiday letters—ones that don’t make your reader’s eyes roll back in their heads!Learn how to make your short works work. Even your truest recollections can be more vivid and entertaining when they fit on a single page! Fee: 100€ Place: Le Bis Repetita, 167 rue Saint Honoré, Place André Malraux, 75001 Paris Note: You must be a member of WICE to take this course. Preregistration required.
