About Us

Westport Writers’ Workshop has been a beacon in the literary arts community for over twenty years. Through small classes ranging across all experience levels and genres, we inspire, support, educate, and connect writers from Connecticut and around the country. We support writers at every stage of their creative development, from first draft to publication. Writers keep returning year after year for community and accountability. As a literary nonprofit, we offer free workshops to underserved communities and partial scholarships for our regular programming.
