Online writing class

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.

(If you're interested in learning other kinds of writing, such as business or technical writing, you can start with Hidden Front Door or a similar site.) 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.

The Crafty Writer is a service started by fiction author Fiona Veitch Smith to help teach aspiring and current writers how to master their craft and publish better books that get better results in the market. As part of that mission, they’ve developed The Crafty Writer’s Creative Writing Course, a self-paced introduction to creative writing.

These classes teach you the basic skills you need to write fluidly, fluently, and with style—essential no matter what your genre or field. More advanced classes help you find your writing voice, learn the secrets of creating an author brand and ecosystem, and improve your technique.
