Celebrating the Written Word

WinterWinter Is Coming!

Write with us. What better way to spend the chilly season?

Our winter workshop session has classes for aspiring through advanced writers. For beginners, try our new Beginning Your Mystery 4-week virtual workshop with three-time Agatha Award nominee, Mally Becker. Or join us for Beginning Memoir in Madison, NJ with Liz Alterman and in Verona, NJ, with Jean Edelstein

If you’ve got works-in-progress in any genre, our Adult Writers Circles are the perfect place to get constructive feedback and the support you need. Writing poetry, short stories, books for children or YA? We’ve got those workshops, too

And our Youth Workshops inspire young writers (and non-writers!) from grades 3 to 12 in person and online.

This Sunday: Publishing Pros Panel & Pitch

“Publishing Pros Panel & Pitch” features three literary professionals who will discuss the rapidly changing literary landscape, what gets their attention, what turns them off, and the best way to work toward literary success. Our pros include Marietta Zacker (children’s, middle grade, and young adult fiction), Diana Ventimiglia (nonfiction and memoir), and Callie Deitrick (literary fiction).

Following the panel and Q&A, participants may opt to present a 10-minute pitch for their manuscript to one of the speakers. Please review full details on the registration page before registering for a pitch slot.
