Upcoming Events: where to find Jennifer K Dick and many other, exciting authors!

 I am in busy mode as we settle into 2023. Here are a few places you can find me:

STRASBOURG 28 January 2023:

SWAS: Strasbourg Write A Story: Fiction Writing Workshop "MYSTERY" with Jennifer K Dick on 28th January 2023 14-16h. http://sxb-write-a-story.org/workshops-2022-23-new/

Course Description: The Mysteries that Surround Us — This generative writing workshop with Jennifer K Dick will be based around “mystery”. Not the genre, but instead the mysteries that surround us every day and which provide a million opportunities for us to encounter and make stories. As such, this workshop will focus on where to find a story, questions of what plot is and why it might or might not matter to story writing (for you) and how to use questions to find characters and their motivations. Finally, our afternoon together will close with some tips on how to hone and polish your story. The goal is to encounter a little of the unknown together, to write something into being, and to leave perhaps not with more knowns, but rather with more mysteries to explore on our own as we continue to uncover, craft and polish our own fiction. Please come with the necessary materials to write in situ and an openness to discover and encounter the mysteries of your own inner universes.YOU CAN ALSO SUBMIT YOUR STORIES TO THE 2023 SWAS CONTEST, NOW OPEN.

PARIS 29th, 30th and 31st January 2023: 

RED WHEELBARROW EVENT at 16 for Estepa Editions with Lisa Pasold, Barbara Beck, Jennifer K Dick and Michelle Noteboom along with Kate Van Houten, publisher, author and visual artist who founded and publishes Estepa Editions artbooks. This will be a wonderful reading to support an amazing art book publisher. You can also pick up copies of books by the authors published by other publishers and get those signed. A great way to keep a local bookstore thriving!

Spoken Word is at a new venue again for the 30th and this is the CAVE CAFE which is up on Marcadet. It has amazing beers and the reading will be downstairs.
