American Writers in Paris

 

Get out of your creative slump by writing in Paris this winter. Learn from your peers and listen to great works from other writers as you take a cruise on the River Seine. See your writing grow as you walk the wintry city of lights.

Dr. Fisher-Wirth says: "I love Paris. I love teaching. I love to travel. Artists from the United States have long found Paris to be fertile ground for their own creative production. Beyond writing, I hope to teach students that there's more to the world than their own little corner and to enter a foreign culture with friendliness, curiosity, and open-mindedness.
