Mira Feticu

conversations with writers Because no one can talk about writing as inspiringly as the writer themselves, Creatief Schrijven organizes seven conversations with authors about their authorship, three of which are in Antwerp, two in Brussels, and two in Ghent. The author conversations are part of SchrijversAcademie. Non-students are also welcome. Anneleen Van Offel, also a writer, guides the conversation smoothly and shamelessly probes into the secrets of authorship. The last half-hour is always reserved for questions from the public.
