Elles Writing Marathon and the Spirit of Ramadan Gatherings | Ramadan 2026 Activities

Elles Publishing House is preparing to host the “Elles Writing Marathon” in a space dedicated to focus and creative flow, as part of its Ramadan 2026 cultural program.

The marathon is inspired by philosopher Alain Badiou’s words:
“Writing is a painful act that needs companionship.”
It offers participants the opportunity to overcome writer’s block, begin postponed projects, and share their texts within a supportive and safe environment.

The marathon includes extended hours of continuous writing in the calm, focus-friendly atmosphere of Elles, structured into organized writing intervals interspersed with collective reading sessions and practical exercises.

Attendance is limited to 10 participants to ensure a comfortable and interactive creative space.

After the marathon, participants are welcome to remain at the space to spend more time together and break their fast in an informal and friendly setting. Attendees may bring their own meal or order food individually, creating an open and warm Ramadan gathering.
