Writing Workshops

Have you dreamed of writing but never known where to start?
Your story matters.
Do you jot down poetry on napkins or notebooks?
We want to help you grow.
Are you a writer with publications and experience, seeking a fresh perspective and genuine connection?
You've found your community.

Unlock
Creativity

Every blank page holds the promise of something magical. Sometimes the words pour onto the page, and sometimes they need a little coaxing, but they're always there, waiting to be discovered. Here at Elizabeth's, we celebrate these moments of creative possibility, and we've created a space where writers of all kinds can find their voice and their community.

Reimagine
Education

Our workshops deliver the rich literary exploration and expert guidance you'd expect from a college course, but without the prohibitive costs, rigid schedules, or academic pressures that can stifle creativity. We've reimagined literary education to be accessible, flexible, and centered on your unique journey as a writer.

Expand
Perspectives

Drawing inspiration from writers of color, LGBTQ+ authors, disabled writers, and other historically marginalized voices, our workshops open up new perspectives and possibilities for storytelling.
