Free Storytelling Workshop!
Hosted By Mary Jane Nordahl
ABOUT MARY JANE NORDAHL
Mary Jane Nordahl is a writer and poet. She holds a BA in Creative Writing and Comparative & World Literature from San Francisco State University. She has experience leading creative writing and reading groups, proofreading, editing, and is an audio reader.
Mary Jane grew up in California. She has also called Malmö, Sweden her home, where her family has spent many summers and holidays visiting family and friends. In 2025, she moved with her family from the San Francisco Bay Area to Malmö. Excited to connect with fellow writers in Malmö, she searched for an English-language creative writing community, but found limited opportunities to join workshops and meet other writers.
CWE Workshops was founded for English-language writers in Malmö, Sweden and throughout Europe who want to develop their craft in a supportive environment. Mary Jane believes that every writer benefits from encouragement, constructive feedback, and a community that shares a passion for storytelling.
We begin our creative writing journey by introducing craft elements such as plot, character, story structure, point-of-view (POV), and dialogue. Understanding these craft elements will help guide our storytelling. We will also do writing exercises, read short fiction, nonfiction, and poetry to further explore how these craft elements are employed. In addition to our reading and writing exercises, each writer will be given the opportunity to have up to five written pages of their work critiqued by their workshop cohort.
This workshop is in English. Participants should be able to write and discuss in the English language. (Workshop textbook Steering the Craft by Ursula K. Le Guin is not included in the workshop fee)
Workshop duration: 4 weeks, 2 hour sessions
When: Sundays, 6 September - 27 September/ 17:30-19:30
Where: Kunst, Davidshallsgatan 13, 211 45 Malmö and via Zoom
We will meet once a week for 4 weeks. Our first workshop will be at Kunst, on Davidshallsgatan 13, 211 45 Malmö, and the rest of our workshops will be held online via Zoom. Complementary coffee (with free refills) and freshly baked pastry will be provided at our first meeting!
For writers who wish to join the workshop but are not in the Malmö area or will not be able to attend our first in-person meeting, you are also welcome to sign-up! An outline of our first meet-up and an introduction to your workshop cohort will be emailed to you after the first workshop has occurred. We can get to know you in our next meeting on Zoom.
🎉 🎉 Free bonus: 20% off a pottery painting session at Kunst with this workshop sign up!
Concert Nights!
Nordic Cactus @nordic.cactus are:
Irreverent, anti-establishment, sardonic, sneering, bratty, funny, and politically subversive. Formed in 2023, Nordic Cactus bring their melodically fuzzed-out psychedelic garage rock songs into a quieter, more intimate setting. Expect songs about Iran-Contra, vandalism, and the U.S. state of Kansas. According to Google, they have been described as “Malmöfi Scumbag Cowpunk”. Sounds about right.
Mette @musicbymette is a Finnish independent folk/pop artist who creates music from the words she would rather not say out loud.
"My songs are stories that revolve around mental health, finding your own path, and sometimes feeling like a ‘weirdo’ among all the norms of society.”
Karma Nesci is an eclectic artist, singer-songwriter and guitarist who lets music take him to places such as folk fields, rock stadiums of the mind, experimental-emergent clusters, as well as meditative and devotional territories. 🕉️
After his experience with Vipassana meditation and plant medicine retreats, he dedicates himself to cultivating and sharing unconditional Love through his art and practices, including both acoustic and electric rock concerts, meditation and Kirtan events, and cacao ceremonies.
// "Can you put irreverent garage-indie rock, folk-pop and devotional music in the same evening?"
"Yes, that's our definition of Music, and Love; as broad as can be." //
A very diverse and unique representation of Malmö's underground music scene.
On Wednesday the 5th of August 2026. 19:00 - 21:00.
Doors open at 19:00, concert starts at 19:10.
