Introductory writing courses 

Casa Árabe is hosting these Creative Writing workshops organized by School of Writers at its headquarters in Madrid. The courses, to be held on a quarterly basis, will begin on October 1 and 2 and will be taught by Enrique Valladares and Antonio Marín. Sign up here!

Writing is both an art and a craft that can be learned. Writing is learned by writing, as the craft is acquired through practice, and talent gets further nurtured and cultivated. A story can take many forms, and this course invites you to discover and practice them in every way possible. 

The course is designed to unleash your imagination, overcome any fears you might associate with the creative process and learn basic writing techniques. It is a journey in which you will write every single week, read good literature, and find your own voice from one text to the next. 

In this academic year of 2025-26, we will be launching new theoretical materials that have been completely updated and reworked with new voices and writing exercises. 

The sessions will be taking place at the Casa Árabe headquarters in Madrid (c/ Alcalá, 62), with the option of choosing between Wednesday or Thursday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. They will begin on October 1 (for the Wednesday session) and October 2 (for the Thursday session), and will be ending on December 17 and 18, respectively.
