Creative Writing for Quality Reading Workshop

A workshop on Creative Writing for Quality Reading took place on June 26-28, 2014 at the Writers' Union in Yerevan, Armenia, within the framework of the Book Platform Project. Ten young writers took part in the workshop, among them not only rather successful and well known writers who have at least one or two books published, such as Aram Pachyan, Armen Ohanyan, Hovhannes Tekgyozyan, Hrachya Saribekyan, Lilit Karapetyan, Hovhannes Ishkhanyan, etc., but also authors who still have only one or two publications in literary media.

The three-day-long workshop had two sessions daily, the morning sessions included presentations of Laure Pecher, editor and literary agent, on the main theoretical aspects of writing a successful quality novel, and the afternoon sessions were held by Viken Berberian, an American writer of Armenian origin, who managed practical exercises in Armenian language and held discussions on the writing pieces by participants.

As both the participants and the trainers admitted at the end of the training, this was a very interesting exchange of knowledge and opinions on contemporary writing and reading matters.
