## About this plan

If you love writing and want to improve your novel, this creative writing workshop in Bogotá is for you. Biblioteca Pública Arborizadora Alta opens the doors to Construyamos nuevos mundos, a space to explore two very different ways of tackling fiction. You can plan each step with a detailed map or follow your intuition with a compass.

During the session you will work through hands-on exercises to find out which method fits your voice best. It does not matter if you are just starting out or already have pages written.
