What Makes Our Writing Workshops & Classes Different?

Writing Co-Lab is owned and operated by writers, with teachers chipping in to handle administrative tasks, which means 80% of student tuition goes directly to the instructors. We offer a variety of online classes in every genre, so whether you’re looking to deepen your publishing acumen, ignite your imagination, or cultivate joy, we’ve got something for you. And our community extends beyond the digital classroom, with open mic nights and teacher “ask me anything” sessions. Let’s co-lab together!

Memes That Slap

I am really enjoying this writing lab! It's really giving me a moment each week to look at what's going on with my thoughts on marriage, motherhood, longing for the past while trying to sort out my future. — Rachel, a Writing for Women on the Verge student

I got exactly what I came for in Abeer's class - concrete tools to construct a snapshot of myself and my project for a residency application. Abeer was warm and supportive, and provided helpful and constructive feedback. As a woman of color taking her class, her informed experience and thoughts were greatly appreciated. — former student

Sara Lippmann teaches with heart. She invests in her students and their stories like no writing teacher I've encountered before. Her feedback is honest, insightful, and delivered in a way that always builds up, never tears down.– Shayne Terry
