BNSCWRC supports campus literary writers

One of the advantages of being a campus writer in La Salle Schools is the chance to sit with well-known and respected writers in the creative writing workshops conducted by the Bienvenido N. Santos Creative Writing and Research Center (BNSCWRC). Three of these workshops benefited 30 college campus writers.

The first of these workshops was held on August 11 for the fiction writers and contributors of Malate, the official student literary journal of DLSU-M. The workshop resource persons were Connie Jan Maraan and Danny Reyes. Maraan is the Center’s associate for Creative Nonfiction, while Reyes is the faculty adviser of Heights, Ateneo de Manila University’s (ADMU) official student literary journal.

On August 18, the second workshop was organized for Malate’s student poets and contributors. Ateneo’s Chair of the Filipino Department Dr. Benilda Santos and BNSCWRC Director and Malate adviser Dr. Marjorie Evasco shared valuable insights to hone one’s craft.

The third workshop will be conducted at La Salle Lipa in Batangas City on September 7-9. Resource persons will be Associate Director for Poetry Dr. Cirilo Bautista, Associate Director for Communication Arts Vince Groyon, and CJ Maraan. The highlight of the workshop will be a poetry and fiction recital at La Salle Lipa’s charming little hotel, Chez Avenir. Bruce Banaag, adviser of the college student publication, will coordinate the literary reading.
