Description

Writer’s Way, Inc, a DC non-profit, is dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of creative writing. To fulfill our mission, we offer weekly creative writing workshops for the general public and under-served communities, public readings, and a journal that is distributed to 8000 homes in the District.

Writer's Way Workshops are for writers with much or little experience. We currently meet on Capitol Hill and Dupont Circle. During the meetings, the group of up to ten writers sits in a circle and responds to writing exercises that are suggested by the workshop leader. Sometimes the exercises are simply objects that strike memories, like a flower; sometimes we work on creating fictional characters; sometimes we explore poetry forms, like acrostic. After we've written, participants can read their work aloud the rest of the group offers positive feedback. Positive feedback acts as a guide in revising raw material and also establishes a safety zone that encourages each of us to write in new ways. Participants also bring in copies of their work, up to 15 pages of prose or 5 short poems, for a closer review.

All workshop participants may read selections of their work at our public readings, which are offered at the end of each workshop session. You may also submit pieces to our journal, which is distributed free on Capitol Hill as an insert in the Voice of the Hill and posted on the journal page of this web site.
