The DISQUIET International Literary Program is a two-week program that brings writers from North America and from around the world together with Portuguese writers in the heart of Lisbon for intensive workshops in the art and craft of writing.

The program is premised on several beliefs: That the conversations and exchange of ideas that result from meeting writers from around the world pushes one’s own work beyond the boundaries of the self. That all writers need a community to support and sustain them. That stepping out of the routine of one’s daily life and into a vibrant, rich, and new cultural space unsettles the imagination, loosens a writer’s reflexes… To those ends: Come be DISQUIET-ed with us!

The program offers:

• Intensive core workshops in Fiction, Memoir and Nonfiction, Poetry, and Writing the Luso Experience

• Unique optional workshops such as The Fernando Pessoa Game, Performance and Storytelling, Documentary Photography and others

• Discussions…
