Whether you wish to get your stories down on paper or publish in your favorite literary journal, we are here to guide, encourage, and support you.
There are thousands of good reasons to practice writing, one of which is to discover (or rediscover) your voice and the perspective that is unique to you.
Join us and write the stories only you can tell.
class levels
In order to help you select the right class, we have tiered them levels 1 through 3. These levels reflect the type of experience you will have in the class, not the difficulty of the class or expertise of the instructor. No matter where you are in your writing practice, you are welcome to join or apply for any level.
Level 1: This is a prompt-based class designed to generate new writing with no or minimal outside assignments.
Level 2: This class includes mentor text analysis and workshopping. Depending on the instructor, there may be outside assignments.
Level 3: This class focuses on workshopping with a commitment to present polished work. It also includes mentor text analysis and weekly outside assignments.
