You have a story in your head, but the blank page feels like a wall. Writing is often seen as a lonely endeavor, but it doesn't have to be.


'Pen to Paper' is a sanctuary for the 'hesitant' writer. We’ve designed this space for those who want to move past the fear and finally begin in a supportive, creative environment.

More than just a class. Join a small community of international, English-speaking bibliophiles for weekly two-hour sessions in our beautiful store at the heart of Amsterdam. We explore the craft through:

Close Reading: Analyzing masters like Atwood, Orwell, and Woolf.

Guided Practice: Real-time exercises designed to spark ideas.

The Workshop: A safe space to share your work and receive constructive, gentle feedback.
