Follow in the footsteps of writers like Hans Christian Andersen, Lord Byron and Fernando Pessoa. Not to mention our previous year's participants! Everyone seems to agree: Sintra is the ideal place to write.

The dream team at the helm of the expedition.
Multilingual writer and researcher in Creative Writing Studies at Falmouth University (UK). Teacher at Scuola Holden (Italy), Escuela de Escritores (Spain) and Escrever Escrever (Portugal).
I speak lots of languages and play lots of instruments. Not all of them flawlessly but also, crucially, and not all of them at once.
CEO and founder of Escrever Escrever. President of FNAC's literary contest.
Passionate about writing, the city of Lisbon and teaching storytelling.
I am fond of gathering with people around a table: to write, to talk, to share a special meal or a good bottle of wine.
Located in the very heart of Lisbon's historic centre, Escrever Escrever has been welcoming writers since 2008. In a room with a view on the Tejo river, here we write.
We are a long-standing member of the European Association of Creative Writing Programmes.
With more than 1.200 students per year, several of them have been published.
Our excellent customer support team is ready to help.
