The students of the Vicenç Pagès Jordà Writing Room of the Girona City Council are as diverse and heterogeneous as the motivations that have led them to want to write.

Since the founder of the school, the late writer from Figueres Vicenç Pagès, did not conceive of one activity without the other.

The rentrée The literary scene has arrived loaded with literary debuts. Among the authors making their debut in the publishing market, three stand out for their originality and ambition. Mireia Giró has written a hilarious comedy that sharply questions romantic love and today's society; Gil Pratsobrerroca has shaped a thriller A fast-paced novel that draws on contemporary masters of the genre, especially Joël Dicker, and Laura Tomàs has published a collection of stories with fantastical touches that are full of disturbing and moving images about nature, motherhood, and our traditions. They are three narrative voices that land in Catalan literature with force and with the desire to remain there for a long time.
