Writers' Room 2026

Writers' Room Workshops

These creative writing workshops span a variety of topics, from flash nonfiction to playwriting, from publishing to fiction. Regardless of genre, the foundation of these classes is the same: to open up the world of writing to folks eager to refine existing work or try new things. They are taught by professional writers who lead groups through prompts and examples, guide participants through the writing process, and offer feedback, advice, and encouragement.
