1st Reading in the Garden

To write a creative book is necessarily a lonely endeavor. But does it have to be always like that? Sometimes to let others know about our current writing helps us to keep the motivation, to clear up doubts and to help to understand the complexity of any creative process. Jiwar Creació i Societat proposes you to share the evolution of your personal writing project with the public and other writers in our “Readings in the garden”-sessions: three authors will gather monthly in our garden during summertime to introduce us into their work and to read a fragment of it for fifteen minutes. The session will close with an open discussion between the writers and the public.

The presented piece of work must be unpublished and unfinished (that is, the creation-process should not yet be finished). If you are interested in taking part, send the fragment or fragments you want to read (3.000 words maximum) to lecturesaljardi@yahoo.com. A committee will decide if they are accepted and, if so, will let you know the foreseen date of your reading. We will accept texts written in Catalan, Spanish or English.

The first reading will take place next Wednesday, 20. June, at 7 pm. Place: Espai Jiwar, C. Astúries 38 (entrance to the gardens through "Olokuti"). Metro Fontana. In case of rain, the session will be canceled and a new date will be offered.
