PNLA Creative


A new creative writing seminar is being launched by PNLA in collaboration with Come si scrive una grande storia. Following the success of the first two courses, "Scrivere come mestiere" (Writing as a profession) started on November 6, 2025, featuring 23 lessons with PNLA authors and international guests. Registration for the course will grant access to two pitch nights attended by PNLA scouts, offering the opportunity to pitch their projects.

At the end of the course, two of the most deserving projects will be selected to gain access to a final in-person workshop. The meetings will be held on Zoom every Thursday from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM (CET), for 23 weeks, starting on November 6, 2025. It will be possible to catch up on any missed lessons on Vimeo at any time. There is also the option to purchase single lessons. For more information, costs, and registration: scrivereunagrandestoria@gmail.com
