Poets & Writers is pleased to offer courses to help you deepen your writing practice and get published. All classes are offered live online via Zoom and provide ample opportunity for interaction with the instructor and peers. Please join us!

Please note: Full participation in an atmosphere of mutual trust is key to learning. For that reason, our workshops and classes are not recorded. Please plan to attend all sessions at the scheduled time. If you have questions or need additional information, please email programs@pw.org.

To be notified when new classes, including Mapping the Maze, are available, sign up for the Weekly Update!

Fee Waivers

Poets & Writers aims to ensure equitable access to classes for writers who might not otherwise be able to cover registration fees. To that end, a limited number of fee waivers are available for each class. We encourage applications from writers traditionally underrepresented in publishing, including, but not limited to, writers who identify as Black, Indigenous, persons of color, immigrants, writers with disabilities, LGBTQ+ writers, writers residing outside of major cities, and writers who do not have an MFA or equivalent degree.

Please submit fee waiver applications no later than two weeks before the first session of the selected class. If granted a fee waiver, you will be responsible for a nominal $25 fee.

Refund Policy

If you are unable to attend a course for which you have registered, please submit a refund request to programs@pw.org. We will issue a full refund for cancellations submitted at least one week before the class starts. Cancellations in the week leading to the start date of class will receive a fifty-percent refund. No refunds will be issued once the course begins. We believe that full participation provides the best opportunity for learning and community building, and we encourage participants to make every effort to attend all scheduled sessions.
