writing workshops to level up your writing
Our writing workshops 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. But it does take passion, study, and practice.
You’ve got the passion. Our classes and workshops have the rest.
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.
