Learn to Write and Publish Personal Essays

The 2015 Zurich Writers Workshop just opened for registration. Writer Abroad will be teaching a workshop called Miniature Memoir: Writing and Publishing Personal Essays, in case you needed an excuse to attend a workshop or to visit Switzerland.

Fall 2015 Workshop will be held October 23-25, 2015

Here's why Writer Abroad believes her workshop is important: If you can master the personal essay, you can launch a writing career. In fact, writing a personal essay is one of the best ways to break into freelancing and get noticed as a writer. During Writer Abroad's workshop, she'll take you from essay idea to international writing career, one miniature memoir at a time.

Emylia Hall is the fiction author in residence during the workshop. The author of three novels, including one set in the Swiss Riviera, she'll be teaching a workshop on the craft of fiction with a focus on sense of place.

Writing aside, October is a stunning time to visit Switzerland. The leaves peak about the week of October 20th and there are no tourists but still plenty of sunshine.
