In others' words

The workshop enlightened me and gave me insight, especially your critique and the comments from the group. I am glad I went because I was lost and I gained a sense of direction for the book I’m writing now.

Thanks so much for a wonderful time! The workshop helped to get me thinking about some things I want to improve. I liked your line of questioning to get us to answer the questions readers would have. You are very non-judgmental and funny.

I gained a greater sense of confidence and self esteem. It was a wonderful experience and a great inspiration to keep the creative process going.

Writing Workshop in Paris

The City

Let Paris inspire the writer that you are!

Experience a creative writing vacation in this city, a muse for so many. Having lived and loved, studied and taught writing in Paris for almost a decade, your instructor, Margaret Irby, is in a unique position to give your writing trip to the City of Light some different textures and a lot of fun.

This time of year is magic in Paris. The city pulsates with energy from “La Rentrée” (The Parisians are back from their five-week vacation!) and the parks and boulevards are ablaze with gold and red autumn leaves. The air is crisp and cool.

Everything seems to be calling you to a romance with your muse. Whether you decide to write about Paris or just let Paris inspire your writing, you are sure to come away a different writer after this memorable week. Bon voyage!
