The Shanghai Writing Workshop

The Shanghai Writer’s Workshop (SWWS) is a creative organization dedicated to mentoring and connecting writers from around the world. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Ryan Thorpe and based out of Shanghai, the SWWS helps creative writers of all levels sharpen their skills. Since then, the SWWS has grown to a no-cost, bi-weekly workshop where writers are both challenged and supported to hone their craft. Along with the highly anticipated Spring and Fall Writer’s Retreats, and the founding of its literary journal, Shanghai Voices, the SWWS is committed to fostering a new generation of creative talent in China.

上海作家研讨会（SWWS）是一个致力于指导和联系世界各地作家的创意组织。于2015年由Ryan Thorpe博士在上海创建，SWWS最初是只是一个会议，帮助有创造力和专业的作家提高他们的写作技能。从那时起到现在，SWWS已经发展成为一个免费的、每两周一次的研讨会，这里作家们会得到各种支持和挑战，进而提高他们的写作水准。伴随着备受期待的春秋两季的写作郊游，以及《嘎三胡》文学杂志的创建，SWWS将致力于培养中国新一代的创新人才。
