Stay connected. Keep writing.
The Yale Writers’ Workshop Online Writing Groups are designed for writers who want to continue growing after the summer session ends. Led by Yale Writers’ Workshop faculty, these small, online groups provide a supportive space to share work, exchange feedback, and strengthen your craft—all while staying connected to the YWW community.
Over six weeks, participants meet once a week for a two-hour evening session filled with discussion, critique, and creative energy. Each group is capped at ten writers (with a minimum of six to run), ensuring meaningful participation and personal attention from both peers and faculty.
Between meetings, you’ll have the option to engage in short writing prompts and exercises designed to spark creativity and deepen your practice. The experience also includes a guest speaker, offering additional insight and inspiration from the literary world.
These groups are ideal for Yale Writers’ Workshop alumni—and for writers who seek accountability, continuity, and community. Whether you’re revising a short story, developing a novel, or returning to a project that needs renewed focus, the Online Writing Groups help you sustain your writing rhythm and confidence.
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have made tangible progress on your work, refined your craft through feedback and discussion, and strengthened your connections within a dedicated community of writers.
