About Writers At Work

Writers At Work is a creative writing center based in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Founded by Terry Wolverton in 1997, WAW provides ongoing weekly workshops in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction; special workshops on a variety of topics; one-on-one consultations with writers; manuscript review; and occasional public readings, writing retreats, and publication projects. We exist to provide opportunities to deepen one’s craft, find supportive community, and cultivate an audience for one’s work.

Hello,
I’m a published poet seeking a poetry writing group.
Please send me information on how to contact and join such a group.

Thanks

Altho’ I’m embarrassed that it’s taken me so long to find what appears a heaven-sent resource for a writer lost in the hinterlands of not-so-literate Long Beach, I’m disappointed to find that there aren’t many voices on the site. Wrong metaphor. Not many pens…

Could you apprise me of writing stuff coming up? I’m pretty starved for craft-talk, for sharing lessons learned as well as venues for work in progress. Maybe a place that offers the opportunity to read novel or story excerpts?

Also, if I can scrape together a couple of bucks, I’d be thrilled to locate a retreat where I might write free from the zillion distractions at home. If you could direct me to a retreat, I’d be most grateful.

At any rate, I’m glad I found you. I think.

HI -
I’m wondering if you are accepting new writers into your workshop – fiction. I am currently in the UCLA extension master program but am looking for a life workshop in the area.
thanks

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I tottaly agree with your opinion, but only this time!
