About Us
Westport Writers’ Workshop has been a beacon in the literary arts community for over twenty years. Through small classes ranging across all experience levels and genres, we inspire, support, educate, and connect writers from Connecticut and around the country. We support writers at every stage of their creative development, from first draft to publication, and our students return year after year for community and accountability. As a literary nonprofit, we offer free workshops to underserved communities and partial scholarships for our regular programming.
Why Students Love The Westport Writers' Workshop
Our community ranges from new writers just beginning their practice to those that have been with us for years. See why our students return season after season.
"My writing abilities have grown tremendously and it was through a steady and consistent participation in beginner and advanced classes that have strengthened my writing skills. WWW attracts an encouraging and supportive community, and writing students, including me, are the better for it."
The Westport Writers' Workshop has turned me into a real writer! Last year, I had an idea for a book, so I enrolled in a writing class. Thanks to WWW, I have a completed proposal and a wonderful book agent. Now I'm polishing my proposal in a new class to submit it to publishers at the end of the month.
