Writers' Workshop

[SIGN UP HERE!](https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/writers-workshop-979f95) We’ll kick off the first session with generative writing exercises, close reading, and strategies for giving and receiving constructive feedback. The remaining sessions are dedicated to discussing student drafts. Each workshop will focus closely on two students’ work, guided and moderated by an experienced instructor. Every student will also receive a private, one-on-one feedback session with the instructor over Zoom outside of class time. Submissions will be prose only (no poetry or screenplay, for now!) and may not exceed 4,000 words. Students are expected to read each other's work before each session. **About Krista Timeus Cerezo** Krista Timeus Cerezo is a bilingual literary critic and fiction writer whose work has appeared in AGNI, Puerto del Sol, Words Without Borders, World Literature Today, and elsewhere. She leads a writing workshop in Barcelona and is an assistant editor at Narrative Magazine.

Writing Quick and Dirty

**This meetup is for** **anyone—anyone** **at all—who enjoys playing around with words in a safe and welcoming environment. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and requests expression.** **After we have finished writing together, you will be invited to share your piece with the group. Reading is optional, but other writers’ responses are a gift to you.** **We offer our responses to this newly-written work in the form of what stayed with us, what we remembered from the piece, what resonated with us. This is not a writing class, but learning what other writers remember in your piece will guide you in the craft of writing.** **We treat all writing as story, literature or fiction, whether imagined or remembered. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character.** **Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.** **I am a certified Affiliate in the Amherst Writers and Artists Method, a writing process which has been used worldwide, with diverse populations, to create safe, supportive writing environments. I welcome you to let your creative spirit bloom with us!** **https://amherstwriters.org/**

Write Your Story: A Memoir Writing Intensive

**[SIGN UP HERE!](https://www.backstorybookshop.studio/course/write-your-story-a-memoir-writing-intensive-2605ab)** Most of us sense there's a story in us somewhere. The hard part is finding it, and then turning lived experience into something that reads like a story rather than a list of things that happened. In this intensive writing class, you'll learn the core craft of memoir: how to bring plot and narrative to a true story, how to make writing come alive through scenes and details, and what to do when your memory is patchy or unreliable (which is true for almost every memoirist). Through short, focused exercises, you'll put each technique straight into practice. As a bonus, we'll close the class with a short tarot session, using the cards as a tool for reflection rather than prediction. Their images of thresholds, losses and beginnings can be an effective way to surface the themes and stories sitting just beneath the surface. No experience or belief required. You'll leave with pages of raw material, the tools to shape it, and a fresh way in whenever you're stuck. **About Priya Joi** Priya Joi is a British-Indian journalist and author based in Barcelona, who has written for The Guardian and the BBC. Her memoir, *Motherland: What I've Learnt about Parenthood, Race and Identity*, was published in 2023 by Penguin Life and explores the story of parenting as a second-generation immigrant. **Event details** * **Date:** Sunday, Nov. 15 * **Time:** 11h – 13:30h * **Price:** €49 📍 **The Studio at Backstory, Barcelona** Carrer de Bailèn 3, 2-2

Coffee Connections

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).
