WHAT IS A WRITING WORKSHOP?

Creative writing workshops are spaces of freedom, conviviality and literary production. Composed of a small group, gathered in the same space and supervised by a facilitator, they consist of a set of writing games. What's special about these writing workshops is the opportunity to take time out to create, without judgment or stakes, simply to name what we don't say, give shape to our imagination and express our uniqueness through words.

ABOUT THE WRITER

Jacques Houssay was born in 1976. At the age of 8, he volunteered with the French, Russian and American presidents to be the first child in space, but received no response. He has worked as a social worker, comedian, barman, railway worker, night watchman, receptionist, welfare recipient, cleaner, chauffeur and bookseller - to name but a few. His first two novels, Border and Cette tendresse qu'on attend dans la nuit, are published by Nouvel Attila. He recently appeared on stage in Random Solitude, and regularly performs with the musical and textual improv collective Lapsus de luxe.
