Looking for writing workshop ideas that help you host a productive and thoughtful writing event? Being a writer can seem like a solo effort, but even the most introverted writers can benefit from a bit of community. Writing workshops are a chance to gather feedback, improve your craft, and, best of all, break through any pesky writer\u2019s block. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re hosting a one-time retreat or a recurring gathering for local writers in a particular genre, check out these 10 awesome writing workshop ideas to help breathe new life into your short story, novel, or memoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to new ideas and a community of writers, one of the things that a workshop can offer is freedom from distraction. Ideally, you\u2019ll get your participants to leave behind their day jobs and household chores by offering them a change of location. That\u2019s why the Clarion West workshop<\/a> brings its writers to Seattle for a six-week intensive inside a house in the University District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you aren\u2019t hosting an overnight workshop, it makes sense to choose a venue away from everyday routines. We think Peerspace<\/a> can really help you out here, as you can find venues that are off the beaten path, yet still offer Wi-Fi, A\/V gear, and other important amenities.
