We are honored to offer a range of creative writing classes from one-night sessions to intensive courses and writing workshops that meet on a weekly or monthly basis. Whatever your writing goals, we have a class for you.
““The Lafayette Writers’ Studio classes I’ve taken have built not only my skills as a writer, they have increased my confidence in my own style and helped me find my voice. I can’t recommend the classes highly enough.””
“It is amazing how much I got out of a one-month class. ”

“I have taken several classes at Lafayette Writers’ Studio, from one-day workshops to weekly classes spanning months. All have been inspiring. The Studio directly helped me take myself more seriously as a writer, and gave me the fortitude to apply and then enroll in an MFA program. I recommend taking a class to reinvigorate your writing practice, give you new ideas and a path forward, and to meet other writers and feel part of a community. Take advantage of this treasure!

Whether your work is rooted in fiction or memoir, place offers a visual and immersive experience for readers and writers alike. In this generative writing session, participants will interrogate maps (and research place and think about the idea of home) to create a lifeline of events to write about and around in their stories and essays. We will examine the concept of mapping--from geographic to emotional--and write about how identity is connected to navigating our worlds on micro and macro planes. No sense of direction required.
