Welcome and Happy New Year!                   

Writers in Progress offers editorial services,  manuscript consultations, coaching and workshops  for writers of every level and genre, with this underlying premise: anyone can learn to write with power, and great writing rarely happens in a vacuum.

In addition, Writers in Progress hosts an open house/reading several times a year as part of our Live Literature series.  

IMPORTANT CHANGE:  The Winter Open House has been postponed to March.
Details to follow shortly.

The next open house will take place on Saturday, January 23rd, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm and will feature prose and poetry by Jacqueline Sheehan, David Lovelace, Celia Jeffries, Diana Gordon, and Dori Ostermiller.   The goal of the series is to provide a forum for new and emerging writers (published or unpublished) to share their work with the community. The readings take place in our beautiful studio, at the Arts & Industry Building in Florence, MA. The events are free and open to the public, and refreshments are served.
