Online Writing Courses and Writing Retreats

Online writing courses, writing retreats, and more

The Center for Creative Writing offers year-round online creative writing courses in six-week sessions designed to help you get to the page and thrive there. We believe writing is for anyone, and that teaching "how to write" is as much about helping you explore your unique creative writing process as it is about providing lessons on craft and content. Our community-oriented, strengths-focused approach will help you build a more fruitful and sustainable writing practice.

Many of our students have only just named themselves writers. Some are returning to creative writing impulses after long careers in other fields, and many more at all stages of life are awakening to a call to connect, to tell their stories and record their truths, whether for themselves or for an audience, in their own way. No matter your level of experience, we have an online creative writing course that will help you write more and better, and a community to inspire and support you on your writing journey.

The time is now. Come write with us.
