Writing Workshops

Over the course of my career as an author, I have had the pleasure of leading writing workshops for children and adults in five different countries, at schools, libraries and even at the headquarters of the Ugandan Women Writers’ Association.

My sessions, which can be held in Swedish or in English, are often described as fun, interactive and inspirational. I do my best to meet participants where they are, whether they are fifth-graders or published authors.

Are you interested in hosting a writing workshop for a group or receiving personalized coaching? Send me an e-mail at trolyrien@gmail.com and we can discuss details. I am currently based in Sweden but am happy to travel or lead online sessions.

Participants’ Reviews

“I thought he was good because he told us how to write in a really fun way … He helped us write better, and I really feel like I can write better after his visit.” (Middle school student, Sweden)

“Thank you for your lovely and inspirational visit to my little class. We have come back to what you said several times since you were with us.” Elisabet, teacher at the Swedish School in Paris

“On 2nd Feb 2024, we at FEMRITE had an incredible time with Joseph A. Davis, one of the most highly rated writers from Sweden … He introduced us to a different way of provoking imagination. There’s no way one can be in his class and fail to write. He uses very relatable approaches and builds an atmosphere that empowers participants to write and share their writing.” (Hilda Twongyeirwe, Executive Director of FEMRITE, the Ugandan Women Writers’ Association)

“He could write a whole book in a language that he wasn’t born with … so maybe I can, too!” (Middle school student, Sweden)

“Fantastic visits — you are a star at stimulating the students! Class 5B did some writing on Thursday, and they wrote with enthusiasm and joy!” (Kerstin, Swedish teacher)
