Bellettrie Writing Activities

Bellettrie hosts weekly writing evenings. These happen on Wednesday evenings on non-holiday weeks (as reckoned by University of Twente holidays, not national ones), currently starting at 19:00. During the writing evenings we sit together with other writers to write together, motivate one another, or talk about our writing. There is always tea in the room and people usually bring snacks to share. Interested people are always welcome to drop by, we love making new friends :).

There's also a yearly short story competition organised. This usually starts around the third quartile. The Writing Committee picks a theme for the year, and participants can submit a story related to that theme. All the stories will be bound up into a physical anthology, of which you can order as many copies as you'd like. Close to the end of the academic year (usually in May or June) we will have a small prize ceremony, where the judges will announce the top three winning stories, talk about what they thought of the stories, and hand out small prizes.
