  • About Us

    Mission Statement

    The Writer's Workout seeks to motivate and encourage self-growth and development of creative writers around the world through accessible education. We can help you be a better writer.

    ABOUT US

    The Writer's Workout formed from a love of competition and encouragement. We are writers of different backgrounds, ideas, influences, and skill levels. From authors published several times over, to featured poets, to new writers just starting out, we have one important thing in common: a love of the written word. 

    ​Every writer approaches writing differently so we focus on the foundations of writing to help each creative improve at their own pace. Our motivation, challenges, and feedback help you be a better writer.

    ​Our Main Activities:

    Back to Basics: a great mini-course with a skills challenge to help you build a stronger writing foundation. You can even submit your challenge for feedback!

    Conference: exactly what it should be: free, virtual, amazing.

    Fests: occasional competitions with three Events over consecutive weekends and optional feedback. This free competition requires registration in advance.

    Fiction Potluck: a quarterly challenge with a guest judge, featured finalists, and published winners.

    Tales: an annual themed anthology.

    WriteChat: a monthly writing chat on the second Saturday at 7pm, UTC, on our Discord. 

    Writer's Games: a series of six weekly Events, short deadlines, feedback for every entry, blind judgement, and published winners. This free competition requires registration in advance.

    WayWords: a quarterly literary journal with a central theme.
