The literary essay balances between fiction and non-fiction. The essay can be about any subject and is like a walk without a map: a search, with the writer’s fascination as a guide. Detours and side paths are part of the route. Essential is discovering what touches the writer \u2013 and subsequently also the reader \u2013 in theme, style, method and\/or perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You become acquainted with the essay in many forms. You read and write your own first exploratory pieces on a self-chosen subject. At this level you write short texts to train yourself in recognising a subject and finding connections across different areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course is a follow-up to the Writing Trainings organised by the Schrijversvakschool. You write essays, read exploratory texts and expand your arsenal. Experience shows that the skills you develop in Essay 1 can be applied to any other literary genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is taught by Doeke Sijens, writer and lecturer at the Schrijversvakschool. The course costs \u20ac 550. Members of dbieb receive a discount of \u20ac 30. You can register via the Schrijversvakschool Groningen<\/a>. Indicate on the form that you are a member of dbieb and receive the member discount. Questions can be sent to kantoor@svsgroningen.nl<\/a>. The course consists of 10 lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
