October Writing Workshops in Paris

Jailed author Stephan Templ: inventoried Jewish property kept by Austrians

I must apologize to PWN readers. The Paris author/event update will be late this month. Fortunately for Paris Writers, Jen Dick's outstanding Fall Literary Event List is available, and listed below are writing workshops on offer this month.

On  Kafkaesque  charges  defying logic, law and decency in equal measure, Austria has imprisoned  Our Vienna author Stephan Templ.  A change.org petition now exists to demand his freedom.  Writers, bloggers: for more information or to see how you can help, please contact me at pariswritersnews AT gmail.com.
