Discover your words with KITeratur

Sometimes a story is already in your head, but the first sentence doesn't come. In the open meeting of the creative writing group KITeratur in the learning workshop of the Badische Landesbibliothek, space is created for ideas, language, and collaborative literary experimentation.

A writing meeting for every literary form

Whether it’s a short story, poem, dialogue, autobiographical sketch, or your own text: At KITeratur, every literary form is welcome. The open meeting is aimed at people who want to start writing, as well as experienced writers looking for new impulses.

Creative writing as a tool for new ideas

The group works with methods from creative writing. Writing prompts, playful exercises, and unusual perspectives help to overcome writer's block and further develop one’s own style. The focus is not on perfection or literary pressure, but on the joy of language and the creative process.

Experimenting, philosophizing, inventing

The regular meetings combine focused writing with exchange and reflection. Every four weeks, a lively reading atmosphere emerges, where thoughts turn into scenes, images into narratives, and individual ideas into literary miniatures. The seminar room in the learning workshop provides an open and inspiring environment for this.

From the writing workshop to the literature party

Those who wish can later publicly present finished texts at the group's literature parties. Thus, silent writing turns into a literary experience with voice, rhythm, and immediate author encounters. Your narrative gains an audience and acquires new contours through exchange.

For curious writers with no prior knowledge

The meeting invites you to discover your own expression and be inspired by the creativity of others. Prior knowledge or a finished book idea is not required. Curiosity, openness, and enjoyment of writing are sufficient.

Conclusion: An afternoon for language, imagination, and encounters

The open KITeratur meeting combines literary craftsmanship with community and a spirit of experimentation. Visitors can expect an inspiring introduction to creative writing, intense exchange, and the opportunity to further develop their own texts. If you no longer want to postpone the spark of inspiration, you will find an invigorating place for your first or next lines in the learning workshop.
