Study with professional writers

July 2 through July 28, 2008

Join select students and professional writers this July for a month-long creative writing workshop at the Paris American Academy, in the artistic heart of Europe. College credit is available for this hands-on English-language writing program, with intensive workshops that include instruction in:

  • Fiction
  • Poetry
  • Travel Writing
  • Memoir
  • Screenplays and dramatic writing
  • Literary journalism
  • Journal Writing
  • Presentation and Performance

In addition to taking classes and amassing writing portfolios, students will participate in one-on-one critiques with professional writers, give readings in Parisian bookshops, and receive "survival" French lessons. Between classes and tutorials, there will be ample time to experience the city, attend cultural events, visit museums, learn history, take day-trips to the countryside, read books, hang out in cafes, dance by the Seine, and make friends from around the world.

The Paris American Academy is located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, on the rue Saint Jacques, a block from the Luxembourg Gardens, and less than a mile from the Seine and Notre Dame cathedral.
