Cabildo Bookshop Launches Free Creative Writing Workshop in Santa Cruz

After reopening its doors following more than six years closed…

The Cabildo Bookshop is wasting no time getting cultural activities underway again.

“The Magic of Letters” Begins This May

📚 The Magic of Letters
🗓 Starting May 13
🕕 Wednesdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm
📍 Cabildo Bookshop — Santa Cruz

The free workshop will run weekly until June 3rd and will be led by writer:

✍️ Víctor Conde

Focus on Storytelling and Creative Writing

The course centres around classic narrative writing, with participants creating their own texts throughout the sessions.

Those texts will then be shared and discussed during the workshop.

Which always sounds slightly terrifying… but useful.

Topics Included

Participants will explore areas such as:

📖 Literary genres
✍️ Writing fundamentals
💬 Dialogue creation
👤 Character development
📚 Publishing industry insights

And other aspects linked to fiction writing and storytelling.

Registration Required

Anyone interested must register in advance by emailing:

📧 info@libreriadelcabildo.net

Places are limited and registration remains open until full capacity is reached.

Worth Knowing

It’s probably a good sign when a bookshop reopens and immediately starts organising writing workshops instead of just selling stationery and calendars.
