Develop your craft with structured courses led by experienced writers. New sections added regularly.
A three-week course on the memoir form. An autobiography is the story of a life; a memoir is a story from a life. Writers collect and shape their memories, then work through the craft of turning them into pages that hold together. Every session pairs a lesson with writing and workshop.
Additional courses for the summer and fall sessions are in development, with more to be announced soon.
And more.

Every course at the Writers' CLC is built around writers learning from each other. Small cohorts, honest feedback, and focused attention on the craft. Our course leads facilitate rather than lecture. From professional authors to MFA-trained writers, each lead brings a range of experience to the room. Furthermore, we're process focused; you'll leave every session with something tangible, whether it's new pages or a new framework to apply to your writing.
A sampling of courses we've run across fiction, memoir, poetry, publishing, and screenwriting. New sections of each return on a regular cadence.
Structure, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and craft elements that elevate a draft.
A broad overview of the memoir form through lessons, writing exercises, and in-session workshops.
Pacing, character depth, setting, and strengthening your writing voice for writers with a working novel in progress.
The full publishing process, from the state of the industry today to getting your book on shelves. Query letters, agents, contracts, promotion, and a concrete plan forward.
Poems from found language, body memories, and visual art. Writers developed an intuitive writing practice and a collection of original work.
Conflict, contrast, and surrealist techniques in poetry. Writers studied iconic voices and built a collection blending tradition with bold leaps.
We're happy to help you find the perfect fit for your writing goals and schedule.
