St. Louis Writers Workshop (STLWW), founded in 1997, is a company devoted to promoting excellence and professional success in writing. We offer various writing services, such as workshops, private instruction, editing, proofreading, and more. The St. Louis Writers Workshop staff are highly accomplished authors, editors, and writing coaches, many of whom hold MFA degrees or other distinguished publishing credentials. Some are experts with specialized skills and professional backgrounds in writing, publishing, and promotion.
Adults
We offer writing workshops for adults in a casual, non-academic setting. Adults gain valuable, personalized writing instruction from high-caliber writing teachers and small-group peer input. We accept participants based on the quality of their manuscript submissions and on their willingness to learn.
Our adult students have ranged from 21 to 77 years of age. Among them are graduate students, teachers, lawyers, physicians, technical professionals, retirees, full-time parents, beginning writers, published writers, "rusty" writers, and writers who need a jump-start.
Teens
We also have a special creative-writing workshop for teens in the summer called Teens Who Write.

- Beginning Fiction

St. Louis Writers Workshop provides editing services for creative and business writing and also offers teens not only their own creative-writing workshops but also assistance in composing their college-entrance essays. Press here to find out more about these and other services.
"The teachers and students in the St. Louis Writers Workshop will improve your writing and your understanding of writing tremendously."
