We're a community of writers helping each other grow. Through in-person classes, writing groups, one-on-one coaching, and access to our shared writing workspace, we turn "I want to write" into "I am a writer!"
Writing is Better Together
Most writers struggle alone, staring at blank pages, wondering if they're good enough, never finishing what they start. It doesn't have to be that way.
At the Writers' CLC, you'll find a dedicated space to write, a collaborative support network, and the structure to actually make progress. Whether you're working on your first short story or your third novel, you'll have a community cheering you on.

What Writers Are Saying
The WCLC is a supportive and motivating learning community. I came away with not only more knowledge, but also more confidence in my abilities as a writer!
The WCLC course took something overwhelming and scary, and made it completely digestible. If you feel intimidated by where to start, this is for you.
This is the place I always needed as a writer. Camaraderie. Support. And skilled, knowledgeable instructors.
