Join our community of writers.
All writers need the right tools, techniques and support to develop their work and build a career. Our programs take a holistic approach to mastering the craft of writing, blending dynamic curriculum with hands-on experience and a community where writers can grow together. All of our students have the opportunity to learn from a variety of award-winning authors.
The Writer’s Studio is a one-year, part-time creative writing program for writers who are ready to immerse themselves in a manuscript.
