The idea of shared writing, often realised in the form of writing circles, writers’ workshops, or writing retreats, is to provide participants with an opportunity to dedicate themselves to concentrated writing while being social. The structure and format of a retreat varies, but the main objective is to jump-start your writing by sharing the experience with others: to make writing happen.
The writing retreat is only dedicated to writing: no feedback is provided on the texts. During breaks, the participants are encouraged to socialise with each other, but not to give feedback on each other’s writing.
NordMedia Network offers two opportunities for shared writing, each of which consists of a half-day online session:
- 31 March 2023
- 28 April 2023
