Book Fair also hosts writing seminars

The 2017 International Book Fair being held in Santo Domingo this week has provided a space for anyone who wishes to learn how to write and study the classic authors as well as more modern authors. The programs at the Literary Workshops include poetry, novels, short stories and, something unique, the magic of cinematography.

According to the Diario Libre of the 73 literary workshops programmed to take place nationwide, 54 of them are taking part in the Literary Workshop Pavilion at the fair.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the book fair is held annually at the Plaza de la Cultura, just off Maximo Gomez across from the old US Consulate.

According to spokesman for the Literary Workshops, there is something new every hour, and the aim “is for young people as well as adults to learn something about the art of writing while motivating them to read.”

There are some 87 different activities programmed for the 2017 International Book Fair at the Literary Workshop.
