They say writing is a solitary pursuit—and yet I shudder to imagine attempting it
without the essential support of my friends and mentors at the DWC.  It is there that I find
the necessary criticism to do it better and the generous encouragement to do it again.

-- Michael Petrocillo, DWC fiction student and published short fiction author.

The DWC offers a wide range of creative writing workshops throughout the year.
Courses range from introductory courses for beginners, to advanced workshops for publishing writers,
to the new DWC PRO certificate program (beginning in Fall 2008). We have something for everyone!
