Creative Writing Summer Intensive in English, for non-native and native speakers— this August 10-14 at @librairie_internationalemars

Unbury your writing voice and tell your story with boldness: fiction, creative non-fiction, autofiction, poetry or screenwriting.

We will meet each afternoon for 1.5 hours to explore creative unblocking techniques, how to ‘unbury’ your distinctive writing style, how to write others’ experiences ethically, as well as dynamic prompted writing time to get words on the page every day. 

I’ll bring my recent experience publishing my autofictional novel “Your Body of Water”, and my previous book with @repeaterbooks, along with many years publishing and editing other work as well as my screenwriting experience as a filmmaker. 

Sliding scale payments for the full week or drop-in prices available. Email siouxzi at siouxziconnor dot com for payment details.

See you in Marseille!

The second iteration of my Art of Autofiction course is now in session in Berlin, with modules such as “The Self as Archaeologist” and “The Self as Anarchist”; working to ‘unbury’ each writers’ unique voice, with theoretical components, unblocking techniques and live, dedicated feedback rounds on works-in-progress.

The next course is scheduled for a Summer Intensive in August in Marseille and then another five week course for the upcoming Autumn in Berlin. Email siouxzi at siouxziconnor dot com for full details and a course outline.

Thank you to Hopscotch Reading Room in Berlin and San Serriffe Books and Atheneum Books in Amsterdam for the wonderful book launches, signings and the thoughtful discussions.

We launched “Your Body of Water” with a scent installation by MISKEO Parfums, that engaged the audience with a perfume created specifically for the book and all its natural and emotional landscapes, as well as the custom-made shirts by Arita Varsinska, who created the shirts I wore inspired by the matrilineal histories in the book.

Both were beautiful and meaningful events which I hope to continue in other cities.
