You do not have to be Scandinavian to write a good dark, atmopsheric book using the elements often found in Nordic Noir. During these workshops we will delve into the ways the unique Scandinavian and overall Nordic cultures have shaped the genre, and how this appears in our writing. The workshop seeks to inspire wirtiters to capture these often times dark, moody and atmosheric themes into their writing in their own uniqie way.

In person workshops are held every two weeks around Stockholm. Some locations have interesting history that could inspire your next book. This is a great way to meet other writers based in Stockholm, share your work and to just have fika and talk about our shared love of writing and Nordic Noir.
