Impressions from previous workshops
Participating in the short story writing workshop with Leonora Flis enriched me with new knowledge, wonderful debates and insight into the writing practices of other participants, and at the same time, it introduced me to a loving and supportive writing community. Although I was skeptical about creative writing workshops before attending, I am grateful for this experience and for the wonderful people I met because of it.

The workshops encouraged me to experiment in ways of telling the story. Thus, the story I started writing at the workshop later won the first prize in the AirBeletrine competition. The responses to my writing while working in a group of blue-collar workers have been invaluable. It was the quality feedback on my writing that encouraged me to improve and contributed to my success.

Leonora Flis is a teacher who unconditionally respects and values the creative expression of the individual. She helped us explore and develop ideas instead of forcing them on us. She taught me many writing skills without specifically telling me what to write. She told me what was already good in my writing, but what could be developed or restructured to be written as literature.

We stayed in touch for years after the workshop - we help with writing by reading and commenting on each other's texts. The fact that after the end of the workshop all of us in our close group successfully continued writing (we all have already published and awarded stories, most of them have already published books of short stories), ranks her mentoring work among the best workshops for creative writing in Slovenia.

Leonora Flis is a writer and an excellent teacher, empathetic and inspiring. She adapted her advice to the individual writing needs of us working-class people and expanded our literary horizons. She not only taught the "craft of writing" (that's the least), but encouraged an original approach to the literary creation of each of the participants.

The creative writing workshops with Leonora Flis, which I attended in the years 2018-2020, undoubtedly contributed a lot to the quality of my writing. One of the stories I wrote as an exercise within her program was published in the online Literature, another was recognized at the Ars radio competition.

Leonora Flis is a writer who is not afraid to dig deep into human emotions, be it those associated with joy or those connected to trauma. She is a brilliant observer of human nature and the surroundings which offer the background for her stories. She has received many praises for her writing and her stories have been translated into several languages.
