It is people who are creative, are not things. “Remember that the concept of” creative writing “has much to do with” the American market, a market where many earn their living doing formatted stories for newspapers and magazines. ”
Disagree who cares this format: “this creative writing teaches a model. How many pages must have a book? After many pages ‘kill’ the character? “He explains. For José Fanha, “this model leads to a mistake, there are people who make a creative writing course and ready, already, think they are writers.” Also admits that it may be “the call ‘creative writing’ to other more valid things just because the concept is fashionable.”
To discuss this issue, it considers “hard core”, invited the writers Mario de Carvalho, Margarida Fonseca Santos, Afonso Cruz and Cristina Carvalho, a table will be moderated by Leonor Strike, a professor at the School of Education of Coimbra (February 25, 18h).

the new family
José Fanha considers it essential to think about how it fits in the literature for children and youth “the new realities and new families.” The writer realizes that “have begun to appear narratives about single-parent families, divorces, parents Gay , lesbian mothers.” But questions how the questions put: “In some cases it seems that if you want to advertise these issues. Something like:. ‘Look how beautiful it is …’ “
So you want to bring matters to the discussion and see how they are placed in different speaking countries. “I do not see anyone in Cape Verde to write about single parents. Are other families, other contexts, other universes, “he says. “How do you look at these issues in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, São Tomé. That weight is that they must have in children’s literature?”
