We’re ready to inspire you.
The Writers Group in West LA / Santa Monica has ended. Please check out our writing workshops schedule page for currently scheduled workshops or join our mailing list.
In this West LA / Santa Monica Writers Group, you will create new writing via inspiring creative writing prompts as well as participate in a structured and supportive critique session where you can get feedback on any project. Writers can bring in up to 20 pages every week for feedback.
Writers of all skill levels and genres come to this group for the constructive, supportive critique on their current writing projects in a safe environment from a qualified group leader and from fellow group members. Our guided critique process has firm rules established through years of experience that helps keep the critique both constructive and supportive. Critique should help elevate your writing and get you excited about the possibilities, not leave you feeling dejected and discouraged.
This workshop remains open to all writers and is not limited by genre nor by experience level. Everyone needs inspiration. And story is story, regardless of genre or format. Poets, screenwriters, essayists, sci-fi writers, aspiring TV writers, no matter what you write, you are welcome here.
