About

Alquimia 101

A half-day introductory workshop to help you express your creativity gene (everyone has one – everyone), demystify the writing process and, above all, have fun. Four sessions lasting approximately 45 minutes, with breaks, that will help you focus on triggers to help you write, while illuminating key principles of the writing craft.

Alquimia 101 is facilitated by two published writers who live and work in Barcelona:

Valerie Collins, writer, co-author of the acclaimed In The Garlic: Your Informative, Fun Guide to Spain. Author of numerous SpeakUp movie guides and magazine articles, and the prize-winning stories Flight of the Eagle, I Love Lucy and Black Dress. Blogs for Barcelona Women’s Network

Nicola Thornton, professional journalist and writer. International Business Press, including Time, Fortune, and BusinessWeek; British Press; Barcelona Metropolitan; Costa Brava Resident; EasyJet In-flight Magazine and SpeakUp.

Valerie and Nickie approach creative writing as a relaxed, joyful activity in a comfortable setting with elements from yoga and personal growth. We believe everyone is creative, and we demystify the process of accessing your creative powers and bringing your creations to physical form.

Alquimia 101 is a taster for a six-week creative writing course, dates and venue to be confirmed.
