Hélène Giannecchini

During the writing residency organized by the Seine-Saint-Denis department "Écrivain-e-s en Seine-Saint-Denis", Hélène Giannecchini will be holding a literary salon once a month.

How do you manage to work, how do you organise your time, how do you find a residency, how do you write an application, how do you do a workshop, how do you prepare a manuscript, how do you organise your proof-reading, how do you find economic strategies for writing, how do you get an office, and so on? Writing is not just a question of inspiration: it is also made up of material realities. As part of her residency at the Centre National de la Danse, writer Hélène Giannecchini has set up a monthly office to answer all the questions we don't dare ask.
