So excited to be teaching my Walking & Writing workshop again with Women Writing Berlin Lab this December! The first one we did last winter was very special. Join us for another brisk day of wandering--and enjoying the Alt-Rixdorfer Weihnachtsmarkt. wearewwbl.com/wwbl-online-sh…

I'm moving back to Berlin in three months. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows 👀👀👀

This bookmaking workshop in SE London has almost sold out -- in a day! Book now to get one of the last remaining tix.

London! I've wanted to teach a handmade artist's book workshop for years and IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! Bookmaking was my emphasis as an undergrad and I love, love, love every part of it. Join me for a night of crafts (and beer) in SE on Nov. 26! badgerbadger.org/event/handmade…

Berlin-based writers, are there any free-to-join writing groups that you are enjoying at the moment, online or in-person? I'm trying to update my list! Also curious for UK/EU-based writers working in English, especially for any fantasy/speculative fiction focused groups! 🙏

I wrote a little essay this week about the strange trip to Venice that changed my life (for the better) at age 26. If you'd like to read it, subscribe to my newsletter here: tinyurl.com/creativefruits

Happy #NationalPoetryDay, UK! Poetry has been a steadfast companion to me for the past 20-odd years, and I am so grateful. Can't wait to celebrate by sharing some favorite poems by writers near and far tonight at @MyICCLondon! irishculturalcentre.co.uk/event/national…

@mollytwomey1 I missed your reply earlier Molly... This poem gives me goosebumps! I love her work so much.

@DemiAnter It just plays around in my head over and over poetryireland.ie/content/files/…

Ahead of #NationalPoetryDay, I'm wondering what is your favorite poem of all time, and why? ✏️✏️✏️

📣 To celebrate #NationalPoetryDay, we invite you to a poetry workshop at The Irish Cultural Centre @MyICCLondon, facilitated by poet & performer @DemiAnter. 🗓 Thu 03 October 2024 ⏰ Starts 7pm Learn more 🔗👇 irishculturalcentre.co.uk/event/national…

For me, all-time-fav has always been "The Cinnamon Peeler" by Michael Ondaatje. But a more recent favorite is Sharon Olds' "After Making Love in Winter." poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine…

@KatieAiles @poetryasfuck Ooh this is wonderful, thank you Katie! And yes, "Wild Geese" is just a G.O.A.T. kind of poem... 💓

@DemiAnter I know it's the most basic of answers, but 'Wild Geese' always has my heart. @poetryasfuck did a great series a few years back asking poets their 8 favourite poems; here's my full list: poetryasfuck.wordpress.com/2019/07/17/eig…

Looking forward to this. If you’re local, buy your tickets :) ✨

Just a few more days to sign up for Writing Berlin, round two. See you soon! eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-berl…

It was a delight to teach my first group of writers in April, and I am delighted to further develop this course for a new group. Here are some of the lovely things former students said about the course!

We will use Berlin as a jumping-off point. Writers are welcome to incorporate other places into their writing. We will look at examples of place-writing across genres.

Writing Berlin - my five-week online course - is back! I am excited to offer this space again for a new group starting September 10. Perfect for writers of all levels interested in deepening their relationship with writing about "Place." 🔗🔗 eventbrite.com/e/writing-berl…

Poet @DemiAnter and novelist #PipFinkemeyer pick out their favourite books on their shelves that turn real life into art... And tell us how fact and fiction intermingle in their own work - exes beware. Apple: tinyurl.com/2k6f8pnu Spotify: tinyurl.com/4x2bpzwr

Berlin: I'm coming back in February 2025 and starting the housing search now 😅 If you know of any apartment leads (studio, one-bed, cat-friendly, long-term, within the ring, <1.000 eur monthly), write to me 💘
