The text workshop with Lina Thiede, Gelsenkirchen Writer in Residence 2024, is aimed at anyone who has a text in their drawer or on their computer that they want to work on. The participants' texts will be discussed in a small group. Authors submit a prose text (up to 4 standard pages, font size 11, 1.5 line spacing) to be discussed in the text workshop with their registration. To ensure that each text can be discussed appropriately, a text workshop lasts three weeks and is limited to six participants. Each session lasts around one and a half hours. Participation is free of charge.

Please register with your text attached by e-mail to referat.kultur@gelsenkirchen.de - you will receive confirmation of your registration from the Culture Department, which will forward your text unopened to Lina Thiede.
