Our Online Writing Classes Are...
It was so fantastic working with other serious writers and getting their input. I have taken part in other writer critique groups, but I felt that the difference here is that everyone who came in is really serious about the craft.
I managed to revise and rewrite the first half of my novel during this course, and I have a plan for how to tackle the rest.
The ultimate success for me was that my husband could see a lot of improvement between the writing he saw in week 1 vs in week 10. Feeling inspired and empowered from this course!

This was my first course with writers.com, and my first course in this global format (we had members from London, Australia, Denmark, and the US). It worked very well.
The course content was thoughtful, informative, and well-organized. The instructor was supportive and encouraging to all, and matched her level of critique to the level of the participant. I felt we were in the hands of a master and mentor, and it was a privilege to have her undivided attention eight times in two months.

About writers.com
The First Writing School on the Internet
writers.com is a home for creative writers of all backgrounds, genres, and styles. Since 1995, writers from over two hundred countries have visited writers.com and thousands have completed our online writing classes. We are accessible 24-7 from any Internet connection in the world, uniting far-flung students with renowned instructors — all published, working writers with teaching experience— who offer feedback and encouragement.
Writing can be a lonely road but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're just beginning to write or polishing your next piece for publication, we can help. Let us provide inspiration, direction, community and deadlines to start you writing and keep you working.
Support And Constructive Criticism
You’re never just a face in a crowd at writers.com. Small groups keep our online classes lively and intimate.
Each class provides written lectures, projects and assignments, and discussion forums where you'll share your work with the instructor and the other students.
Best of all, a teacher offers insights on every project you submit. These critiques help identify the patterns that can plague even the most talented and experienced writers. So whether you’re dusting off a grade-school passion or breaking onto the bestseller list, we can boost you up the ladder a few rungs.
Can't bring yourself to share your work? We offer private classes, just you - or just you and a friend or two - working with the instructor. Click on private classes in the navigation bar at the top of the page to read more.
We also offer one-to-one services such as coaching and editing but it's highly recommended you take one of our classes first.
Caring And Community
writers.com remains a rock in a sea of audit-only and feedback-light classes. We’ve had decades to fine-tune our approach, recruit top instructors and build a supportive network of writers. When you send us an email, you'll always hear back from a real person, not an auto-responder. And while you're in class, we're available to help seven days a week if you run into a problem or have a question.
Over a third of our alumni return to take a second class with us, and some have been taking our classes for 20 years or more. That’s the highest compliment we can imagine — and it inspires us daily to keep growing as writers’ needs and the literary landscape shift.
We pioneered teaching online writing classes. And we still do it with pleasure every day.
