Woodstream is . . .

Woodstream Writers offers writing workshops, writing coaching, editing and critique services, weekend writing intensives, and week-long writing retreats. Based in Florida, we host writers from all around the country at our events, building a creative community that extends well beyond the state—or the close of any workshop.

Writers in Community

As part of the Woodstream writing community, writers learn together, celebrate one another's successes, support one another's creativity, and meet—in workshops, at intensives, conferences, and retreats—to discuss and develop their craft and steer their work towards publication.

All Levels, All Genres

We support writers at all levels of experience, working (or experimenting) in all genres. Under the guidance of professional writing workshop leaders and coaches, writers take their work to the next level. However you participate, you'll find camaraderie, creative inspiration, and instruction that's grounded in the principles of literary craft.

Join Us

Develop your craft in one of our Central Florida-area BookWriters Critique Groups or AWA Workshops—or at one of our Next Level Weekend Craft Intensives, co-taught with award-winning author Joyce Sweeney, and held at locations around Florida and the southeast. Meet new writers—and old friends—at our Writing Marathons and at FWA, SCBWI, and other writing conferences where we present.

And, remember, share your good literary news in our newsletter, The Newstream!

"Writers Say . . ."

Talented writers' groups and an insightful coach, writing retreats for inspiration, and a community of writers for support: that's Woodstream in a nutshell. Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, I can't recommend Jamie Morris highly enough.
