Creative writing workshop: Getting in touch

About the workshop

Letters, sales ads, diaries, voiceovers: In this workshop, together with author Ulrikke Bak, we will take a closer look at various literary genres that focus on addressing someone. We will engage in writing exercises designed to both mimic and explore these established forms.

Participants should bring pen and paper or a laptop as we'll do a lot of writing together.

All genres and levels of experience welcomed.

The workshop will be conducted in English.

About the writer

Ulrikke Bak graduated from the Danish Writers' Academy (Forfatterskolen) in 2022. She made her debut in 2024 with the novel "Love Looks Bleak" and has since published "Book of Psalm" (2026), both with the publishing agency Amulet.
