These are regular, high quality events, that I personally recommend to all writers:
Festival America : every two years in Vincennes, September 23-1-26 2010
Paris Writers Workshop (PWW) June 27 - July 2, 2010 : a wonderful learning event, international, useful and fun. In PARIS !
Shakespeare and Company Festivalandco June 18- 20, 2010 :a major event on the Paris literary scene, every two years. Takes place in the park next to the bookstore.
Geneva Writers Group, GWG runs an excellent 2-day workshop every two years. Next in 2012.
Other workshops and festivals which may interest Paris writers:
Salon du Livre March 26- 31, 2010 So many books, authors and events I personally find it a little overwhelming. But definitely worth a look!
Story: Robert McKee (twice a year in Paris, check his websites for dates) A master class, not a workshop, but the man knows how to hold an audience. It's a one-man-show on writing "story". Simultaneous translation into French available. Many industry professions attend and I learned a lot, but it's not a particularly "friendly" setting. No name tags, little spontaneous discussion with strangers untiil the last day...
I will be adding the links and more information as I receive it. If you would like to recommend a workshop, festival or retreat, please leave a comment or contact me at pariswritersnews@gmail.com (This includes poetry festivals!)
