Any writers in Kunming...

Want to meet some other writers and experiment with different kinds of writing?

Welcome to our workshop. Our aim is to meet, exchange and share our work each week. Each week we will be working on exercises which will hopefully get you creating new things. No matter if you are next years Booker Prize nominee or have never thought about writing before, everyone is welcome.

We meet every Monday at 8pm in Cats Cradle.

If you are interested - or would just like some more information, drop me an email

Forums > Living in Kunming > Any writers out there?

Great to hear people are interested, With the holidays and everything, I don't know whether this week is the best time, if people are going away from Kunming etc, so lets say Monday, at 8.

I want to find a good quiet tea house that never gets too busy, any suggestions? for me inside the green lake is the best, but I think we should have a first meeting in a place where everyone knows ie. Wenlin Jie.

The Vintage cafe seems to be empty most of the time, so I think for this purpose it would be good.

The group has no set form so just bring along your ideas, or what you're interested in writing for. If you want to bring pieces of your own work, you're welcome to, but this first meeting will just be to see how the group could work for us.

So 8pm on Monday, Vintage Cafe, Wenlin Jie, Hope to see you there

If you want classes, the yoga centre in the Green Lake is great, the teachers are good and the setting is perfect, its not too expensive either. Just wander through the park between the East and West gates and you should hit it, its marked on the park map things too www.fxyoga.com/

Hey all, have just moved down here and looking to set up some kind of writing workshop. I know we tend to be a hermitlike bunch, but its good to get out sometimes...

I have no set idea of what it could be - could get together and do some writing or bring your work along to share/discuss. Any type of writing would be cool, Lets see whats out there - even if you have never written before and want to give it a go or discuss ideas - all is good.

Conversely, I've also thought about a reading group, but I believe there would be too many problems in getting hold of books here....

Look forward to hearing your thoughts :)
