Step into a realm where the stories leap off the pages, and the magic of books fills the air. We invite you to join us for an evening of spellbinding enchantment at the Writespace Fantasy Book Ball, a gala designed for readers, dreamers, and lovers of the fantastical. This is your chance to mingle with fellow bibliophiles dressed as characters from beloved fantasy novels or adorned in your most magical attire.
OUR ORGANIZATION
"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 |
Writespace is Houston's writing center. Founded in April of 2014, we are a grassroots literary arts organization founded by writers, for writers. At Writespace, we support writers of all genres, including writers of literary fiction, poetry, science-fiction, fantasy, mystery, young adult, and other genres. Through our weekly writing workshops led by some of Houston's finest writing teachers, we seek to give writers who can't afford to earn an MFA in Creative Writing the same high-quality training and mentorship opportunities available through MFA programs.
|
In addition to offering regular weekly workshops, we offer manuscript consultations, write-ins, open mics, socials, and more. In the spring of each year, we host a national literary festival, Writefest.
At Writespace, we plan to have such a positive impact on the local and the global writing community that great books that would not have been written will now be written. |
Writespace is a participant in Engage Houston, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance with support provided by the Houston Endowment.
