Writing Berlin / Writing Venice

Berlin has captured the imagination of writers and artists throughout history. In this creative writing workshop led by poet and travel writer Demi Anter, we will explore poetry, prose and visual art inspired by the city and explore ways of telling our own Berlin stories.

With Berlin as the starting point, writers are welcome to branch out into other locations of interest. We will discuss what strategies help writers communicate a sense of place and how to access all of the senses to depict our surroundings on the page.

And Venice? In early December, Demi is in Venice with a group of writers, exploring the city through a literary lens. Therefore, we'll bring a bit of Venice into this special edition of "Writing Berlin" for a touch of mystery, fantasy, and a new way of looking at connections between cities.

This workshop will be conducted in English (Demi can also give feedback in German), but attendees are welcome to write in any language. The workshop is suitable for writers of all experience levels and is not constrained to any one genre.
