About Us

We are a dynamic writing organization based in Massachusetts, passionately run by writers. Our primary focus is on teaching engaging writing classes covering the novel, memoir, and creative non-fiction genres. Whether you prefer online convenience or the personal touch of in-person sessions, we’ve got you covered with three ten-week sessions each year. But that’s not all; we also host enriching, free craft workshops throughout the year, delving into various writing topics.

At our core, we are dedicated to celebrating authors who have something meaningful to express and nurturing untapped voices that deserve to be heard. In today’s competitive era and fast-evolving market, we believe in supporting writers to thrive and succeed. Our commitment to writers and their craft is threefold:

Firstly, we provide a conducive space for writers, whether they’re novices or seasoned wordsmiths, to let their creativity flow, explore new ideas, and constantly learn and improve.

Secondly, we offer invaluable insights into the market and the publishing world, equipping writers with the knowledge they need to navigate this complex landscape and find their rightful place within it.

And finally, we foster a tight-knit community, where writers and the public come together to engage, share experiences, and forge meaningful connections. Our collaborative environment allows for the exchange of ideas and the growth of a supportive network that spans beyond our organization’s walls.

We hope to work with you soon.
