​​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.

SAYING GOODBYE
Writespace's founder and director, Elizabeth White-Olsen, is stepping off staff to work with Bayou City Initiative, an organization dedicated to stopping flooding in the Houston area. 

You can read Elizabeth's farewell letter here.

Writespace staff, volunteers, and board all wish Elizabeth the best as she pursues this new endeavor!

"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."
-Angel R., Writespace workshop attendee
