From our writers
The WCLC is such a special place and I'm so glad I found it. The team here is such a wonderful and supportive resource and the community I've begun to form is really priceless when you're a creative. I'm getting lots of support, feedback, craft advice, business advice, and encouragement. Everyone is serious about writing but it is a supportive and collaborative environment and not a competitive one, which can be really hard to find. People know a lot about writing but aren't pretentious. Whatever you're looking for, whether it's community, craft, publishing, journaling, poetry, fiction, daytime, nighttime, alone, together... you name it, they do it.
Maryellen, member
Decades ago, I made the statement, “Someday I will be writing books.” The Writing Center is opening that door now for me in a genre I never expected.
Sharon, member
The support, encouragement, and creative feedback I received at the Writers' CLC enabled me to publish my first novel in 2025. I continue to use their many resources as I write my second.
Claudette, member
I have taken the First Draft Novel Writing and Intermediate Novel Writing courses with Evea. The group of people I've had for both classes have made the class even better. Everyone is so supportive, honest, and kind.
Ashley, course participant
I was thrilled to find a writing community outside of Boston. The Writers' Collaborative is a wonderful group of like-minded people who cheer you on. I've been reminded that I have a story to tell.

An editorial on craft every Thursday
