Take
writing classes and learn how to write like the pros
Our writing classes are entirely online, featuring live instruction from masters of the craft.
Great writers aren’t born…
they’re made
Being a great writer isn’t a guessing game. All it takes is passion, study, and practice.
You’ve got the passion. Our classes have the rest of the equation. They’re led by award-winning authors and industry experts—and unlike other online writing classes where you just exchange emails with the teacher, our classes feature live online meetings so you can get insights from your teacher face-to-face.
How our writing classes work
Meet live via video and in a private discussion forum
Our teachers are hand-picked bestselling authors and industry experts. Chat with them in a private discussion forum before meeting them on live video for face-to-face instruction.
Get constructive feedback on your projects
Feedback is the best way to learn, and each class is designed to make sure you leave with detailed feedback on something you’ve written.
More than just a class… a lifelong community, too
You’ll join one of the largest writing communities online, where you can make friends, meet beta readers, and continue your writing journey.
