The Cuba Writers Program

May 2, 2019 | 8:00 am - May 10, 2019 | 5:00 pm

The Cuba Writers Program takes place this May 2-10 in Havana and beyond. Award-winning travel and fiction writers Tim Weed and Alden Jones offer daily writing workshops in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in combination with active exploration of Cuba, including visits with writers living on the island; daily adventures in Havana; studio visits with visual artists, dancers, and musicians; an excursion to Ernest Hemingway’s immaculately preserved home; dining at some of Havana’s best paladars; and taking advantage of the events happening during the week. This year we overlap with the Havana Art Biennial, during which the city of Havana is overtaken by public art.  Our excursion this year is to Playa Larga, one of the most beautiful spots on the island.
