Creative Writing Workshops in English in Copenhagen

CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS IN COPENHAGEN

In every workshop we experiment with creative exercises, learn new techniques and write together. Everyone will leave with useful writing tools, new material and a warm, supportive writing community. Every workshop offered is open to every level.

2026 SATURDAY WRITING WORKSHOPS:

All writing workshops will be held at the Skriveskolen for Creative Writing, H. C. Ørsteds Vej 50A (four minute walk from Forum metro stop). Coffee, tea and baked goods are included, and each workshop participant will also receive a MUJI x Maison Verb writing notebook.

NEW YEAR, NEW MATERIAL

Saturday January 10, 11am-1:30pm

Begin the new year around a table with fellow writers generating pages and pages of fresh material to work with throughout the year. We will do generative creative writing exercises woven together with a series of concise craft lessons. And if you've joined writing workshops in the past—every exercise in this workshop will be brand new!

GALENTINES: WRITING LOVE STORIES

Saturday February 14, 5:30pm-8:00pm

A Valentine's workshop for the gals! I'll bring wine and together we'll explore love stories of all kinds—from romantic to darkly humorous to fantastical to TRAGIC. Then we'll write our own series of love stories through guided prompts. Whether you love love or you're over it, this workshop will be a hyggeligt good time.

INTRODUCTION TO NONFICTION WRITING

Saturday March 14, 11am-1:30pm

In this workshop we'll explore the many directions nonfiction writing can take—from life writing and memoir to travel writing, the personal essay, and microhistory. We'll look at an example of each form and follow it with a corresponding guided writing exercise. This workshop is an opportunity for writers to discover which kind of nonfiction writing resonates the most—and to leave with a strong starting point to continue writing after the workshop ends.

Each workshop is 800 kr. And if you reserve a seat in all three, you will receive a 200 kr discount. I ask for a non-refundable 25% deposit as space is quite limited...each workshop is capped at eight writers!

TESTIMONIALS

"I have taken part in Fiona Picard's bi-weekly writing workshop since September 2022. Fiona has put in place the structures and processes that allow a dozen writers of varying levels - from beginners to published authors - to develop their craft and flourish as artists. She organises every two to three-hour session so that the writers can share their work and receive feedback; take part in spontaneous writing exercises; discuss writing techniques and share teaching materials. But most importantly, Fiona has built a community of trust, friendship, and collaboration. Each of us has found the confidence to share our work and open our hearts to feedback and support. If we believe that writing is not only a solitary endeavour but also one in which we learn from one another and share our ideas and inspiration, then Fiona's classes embody that ethos. We are lucky to have her."
