The Writer's Studio offers approximately twenty courses and workshops every quarter in the principal genres of creative writing—novel, short story, poetry, creative nonfiction, and screenwriting. Specialty workshops in travel, memoir, humor, children's literature, and other genres are offered on a rotating basis. All courses are taught by published authors and experienced teachers, most of whom have been Stegner Fellows in Stanford's Creative Writing program. Writers at all levels of experience are welcome to join The Writer's Studio, and most courses have no prerequisites.
