Did you meet @grahammort.bsky.social at #EWSBrussels2025 and think, ‘Hey this guy is ace I wish he was teaching a class’?
Well then you’re in luck!
Graham’s class will help you dive deep into your character’s minds with close third POV.
Still a few spots left!
One of the highlights of #EWSBrussels2025 was the performance given by four incredible Flemish poets, Els Moors, Giovanni Baudonck, @spooninmybrain.bsky.social and Xavier Roelens
After an incredible weekend at @saloneurope.bsky.social's #EWSBrussels2025, I decided to upgrade to Supporter. The Salon exceeded my expectations in every way. If you can, I encourage you to support EWS's vital work! If you're curious, happy to chat. europeanwriterssalon.substack.com?r=1x8pg&utm_...
After a few delays, my flight home from #EWSBrussels2025 was finally canceled. I’ve been rebooked for tomorrow and am now enjoying the liminal space of an airport hotel with 2 other Switzerland-based writers in the same boat.

Now in my hotel VERY pleased to report it fits & should be great w/my flowered #DocMartens when I get back to London. Fabulous weekend #writing, #exploring streets & language & #thrifting w/the #EWS. Humongous TY to @deborahzafer.bsky.social & mgmt crew who made it happen. #EWSBrussels2025
Having personally cut and (in)expertly folded a boatload of these, I can say they're fabulous to create, and I can't wait to try to roll the dice with my writing. And I do NOT claim responsibility for any wonky ones. TY EWS for an outstanding #writerly experience in Brussels! #ewsbrussels2025

Here, in their creator Europeana’s own words, are six ways to use them to kickstart your writing
