Creative Writing Workshops in Los Angeles


Add some creativity to your week.


Creative Writing Workshop - Online via Zoom

Tap into your creative side, write work that will surprise you, and learn a few things along the way.

These long-standing in-person generative Creative Writing Workshops in Los Angeles, which took place in West Hollywood, CA, for 15 years, have switched to an online format. We may host in-person meetings again soon, so get on our mailing list for priority notification.

  • Generate new writings from original prompts
  • Different prompts at each meeting
  • Learn to write better scenes
  • Get writing tips
  • Meet fellow writers
  • Participate from anywhere
  • Get excited again about writing
  • Try your hand at different kinds of writing
  • No long-term commitments; attend any session you’d like

These weekly creative writing workshops in Los Angeles (now online) are not lecture-based. We get right down to writing. We write from writing prompts based on either a theme of the week, education, craft, or creative value. There is no critique (as each piece you write is so new)–only much-needed positive reinforcement around the potential of each piece you write. You will also receive tips and tricks for writing better narratives and scenes. Through original and surprising prompts and craft discussions, you’ll write pages you never would have otherwise.
