Beirut is full of creatives, and the city never sleeps when it comes to nurturing artistic expression. Whether you’re drawing inspiration from its busy streets or its people, the creative scene is always encouraging something new to emerge.
Did you know that you can actually attend creative writing workshops to polish your skills as a writer in Beirut?
Everything You Need to Know
Wijdan is hosting two creative writing workshops (which you can take individually or together) on November 29, 2025, and December 6, 2025 at The Olive Grove in Hamra.
For two consecutive Saturdays, participants will learn essential techniques for plot, character, and pacing, along with general tips and tricks that apply to both short-form and long-form writing.

About Wijdan
In case you’re not familiar with Wijdan, it’s a literary magazine for Arab writers, taking year-round submissions for poetry, prose, and art.
The purpose of this literary magazine is not only to fill the gap for a creative literary outlet but also to create spaces where these creatives can grow and thrive. Beyond the magazine itself, Wijdan fosters a vibrant community through its writing club and silent book club.
The Writing Club offers a supportive environment for members to share their work and receive feedback. You’ll also get the chance to engage with others passionate about their craft.
Meanwhile, the Silent Book Club provides a unique space for focused, collective reading and reflection. Members can enjoy an hour of silent reading but also mix and mingle with fellow bookworms.
For more information, and to browse wonderful pieces by local and regional voices, make sure to check out their website! Follow them on Instagram for updates on upcoming events and workshops.
