The GWG Presents:

Slawka G. Scarso

Flash fiction and wine - 3 wines, 3 stories, 3 prompts


Where: Flanagan's, Rue Marcelle de Kenzac 4, 1204 Genève

Date and time: November 9th, 2024, 16h-17h30


Pairing wine and food is something many people already pay attention to. But have you ever tried pairing flash fiction with wine? During this workshop, thanks to Slawka who is both a flash fiction writer and a wine professional, having worked in the wine industry for 20 years, we will match fiction with wine. We will start with a tasting of the wine, learn about the secrets of wine tasting, and then read a story that goes well with that wine. Inspired by the story (and the wine!) we will then write based on a prompt.

So 3 wines, 3 stories, 3 prompts. And, of course, there will be time to share thoughts and first drafts as well.
