A New Home for the Writers' Centre!

Dear All

I am very pleased to announce that as from the end of January 2013 the Writers' Centre will have a new home within the HUGE villa that is El Mesaha Arts & Culture Centre in Dokki, Cairo. http://www.elmesa7a.org/


There will be a menu of events such as:

• Writing salons - writers and artists gather to share, talk and present their work or ideas
• Writers' table - a designated time that writers can come and use the space to focus on their work and also network, share if they choose
• Writing surgeries - writers come with their current draft narrative that they are still working on and receive help to move it on
• Creative writing courses
• Day trips to places of literary interest in and around Cairo
• Short residential writing trips to places of natural beauty in Egypt
• Open mics - a platform for spoken word artists, writers and musicians to present and perform

Please keep watching this space for updates and actual event times and dates!

Creative Writing Course
with Linda Cleary

The Creative Writing course acts as an extended masterclass looking at various techniques and exercises

to open up and improve writing skills, work with metaphor and imagery,

create texts and narratives to given themes and word counts as well as free writing.

the course is designed that people of varying writing experience can participate and each draw their individual benefits.
