Creative writing workshop
I offer one-on-one or small group literary coaching. Meetings are held in the center of Ljubljana. Each session lasts two academic hours, or three if needed. The price for two hours is 70 EUR, and for three hours it is 90 EUR. We work on both existing stories and those that are created during the workshops. If you are interested, please send me a message using the contact form.
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 workshop was truly interesting for all participants, even for those of us who already write, as Leonora offered many stimulating exercises, shared useful tricks, and suggested some very interesting and high-quality works to read. I discovered a lot of new things at the workshop. Leonora is a very good mentor who guides and advises creators. In addition, she also knows how to create a good atmosphere among the participants; a great team was formed, and we all remain in touch.

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.

In 2019, I attended a literary workshop with Leonora Flis. I have very fond memories of that workshop. We used to meet at the Trubar Literature House, and I still think about it every time I cycle past. One of the assignments particularly stood out to me. During a break, we had to go outside and look around to find something that could inspire a short story. It was summer, and Stritarjeva Street was full of people lined up for ice cream at the cafe across the street. I think almost all of us latched onto that ice cream, and it resulted in some wonderful short stories, completely different from each other despite the shared theme. I included my own story in a collection that was published a year and a half later.

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.
