RIGHT TO WRITE
LITERATURE
Society turns to creators when they want to relax, celebrate and escape because, let’s face it, sometimes life is a dumpster-fire that needs escaping. 2020, I’m looking at you! But where do creators fill their creative wells so they can create for everyone else? Right to Write Paris is a show about writers who fill each other’s creative wells by writing together once a month at the American Church in Paris Writers Group. They write alone, too, finding inspiration in the City of Light Paris and home to many great writers.
