Inkwell Shenzhen
As Inkwell continues to grow, we have decided to launch Inkwell Shenzhen. As a partner organization, they will be able to better serve the literary community of Shenzhen and continue Inkwell’s mission of creating better writers, developing a literary community, and offering educational opportunities to both writers and the general public.
Vivian Zhu will be organizing the Inkwell Shenzhen. A rebellious Shanghainese, Vivian resides in Shenzhen as an English teacher. She is a proud alumna of the University of Edinburgh in Comparative Literature, and she also studied at the University of Iowa’s Writer’s Workshop Summer Program with Professor Tom Drury in 2019.
Vivian’s current interest lies in the inner lives of Chinese millennials in a globalized world, and in particular how overseas experiences shape their values, identities and everyday lives. She is working on her novella, The Boyfriend I Talk with on the Phone.
Inkwell Shenzhen meets monthly at Decameron Coffee, 88 Fuhua 1st Road, Room 111. Participants can bring in fiction and nonfiction that they are working on and get it read by other members for the workshop. Please try to keep submissions to around 2000 words. To join the WeChat, add Ry at texaswriter, and he will get you added to the group.
If you’re interested in starting an affiliate Inkwell in your city, please contact Ry (Texaswriter) for more details. Prompts, lesson plans, and publicity materials can be provided to help you start your Inkwell successfully.
如果你也希望在自己的城市里创建同盟协会,请与Ry(Texaswriter)沟通了解详情。我们将会提供指导、课程计划以及宣传资料来帮助你顺利开展协会创建工作。
