Writespace is a 501(c)3 grassroots literary arts organization supporting writers of all genres through writing workshops, festivals, manuscript consultations, readings, open mics, and other events. We seek to give writers who can't afford to earn a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing the same high-quality training and mentorship opportunities available through MFA programs.
Processing Harvey Through Writing
|
As we approach the one year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, Writespace, in conjunction with the Houston Flood Museum, is offering two workshops designed to help participants process the painful memories, support healing, and potentially create art--or at least authentic remembrance--from the disaster.

"Writespace has made a difference in my life. I can even say that it has made 'all' the difference in my life."
- Jim Matej, Writespace member and workshop participant |
"What an opportunity for Houston area readers and writers to share ideas and learn new writing techniques. Excellent instruction from published writers and proven academics. It's an idea 'whose time has come!'"
- Virginia W., Writespace community member
"Writespace has renewed the belief in myself that I am supposed to be writing. . . I've probably written more in 4 months of attending the write-ins and FANTASTIC workshops than I have written the last 10 years."
