Celebrating the Written Word

There’s Still Time to Join Our Winter Session!

There’s no time like the wintery months to hunker down with your writing – whether you’re  just starting something new or making progress on a long-standing project.

What’s new this winter for adults? What’s returning?

And for kids and teens, we’re excited to be heading to the beautiful, newly renovated Baird Community Center in South Orange, NJ for our Saturday South Orange classes!

JUST ADDED: A brand new, in-person Story Magic Class on Mondays from 5-6:15 at the Collective Bookstore in Verona!

All this and so much more. Grab your spot today!

The Summer Creative Writing Intensives for Teens Who Love to Write Now Live for Registration!

For teens who love to write, The Writers Circle’s Summer Creative Writing Intensive is the perfect place to hone their craft. Students will develop their voices and writing ideas in a generous, creative environment with professional authors as instructors. Each week they’ll choose from two different genres to focus on – fiction, poetry, sci-fi/fantasy, memoir, and more. They’ll focus on their own writing projects as well as new work inspired by creative exercises and prompts. They’ll receive supportive, constructive feedback from instructors and peers. Literary inter-activities and adventures, and a reading on Friday will round out the week. They’ll also have the chance to submit their work for publication in The Writers Circle’s online journal.

~ Join us for one, two, or all three weeks ~

Week 1: July 21-25 Week 2: July 28-August 1 Week 3: August 4-8
