EUROPEAN WRITERS SALON

The European Writers Salon is unlike any other event you've been to. It isn't a conference, it's a weekend of creativity, surprise and community. The weekend will offer opportunities to:

​

• Join a warm and friendly community of writers from across Europe

• Participate in or lead interesting writing workshops and discussions

• Read your work at one of our Literary Salons or hear others

• Explore Madrid and get to know its interesting literary history and thriving culture

• Meet local writers and hear about life as a writer in Spain

• Hear from outstanding writers and thinkers

• Eat and drink with new and old friends

• Write in different places - parks, squares, museums, thrift stores, coffee shops and more

​

The event will take place in different venues, so you won’t have a static experience, and will come away with a sense of the city and what it is like to live and write there.

​

This year's Salon has the theme of 'The Age Of....' through the lens of which we will explore the idea that writers hold the pen on defining and redefining the present and the past on both global and personal scales. In lectures, hands-on workshops, and tertulias (Spanish for “exchanges of ideas”), we’ll examine narratives of time.

We are delighted that we will be joined by renowned author Yael Van der Wouden, who will address this theme on Saturday evening. The full programme will be published nearer the time.

​

We are really looking forward to meeting you!
