Overview
Key facts
During The New School's Paris Writing Intensive program, students will have a chance to focus on their own creative writing with a fresh perspective by attending a series of in-depth morning writing workshops in the genre of their choice: fiction, nonfiction, or graphic novel/memoir/poetry. In the afternoon, students will take a closer look at contemporary French culture, examining France's colonial history and Paris' immigrant communities, and taking walking tours of the outer arrondissements.
