Welcome to the Writing Salon,
a school of creative writing located in San Francisco's Bernal Heights.

We offer intimate classes of 6 to 12 students in a warm, informal setting, complete with fresh-brewed coffee, tea and cookies. Our 5 to 9-week courses and one-day workshops, taught by a staff of dedicated, experienced teachers, include classes in poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and journalism.

If you are a beginning writer, we'll help you to lay the groundwork in basic craft. If you are an intermediate to advanced writer, we'll help you to move up to the next level. If you are feeling rusty or blocked, this is where you can come to oil your gears and unlock pent-up creativity.

Taking a creative writing class isn't just about learning the nuts and bolts of craft. It's also about renewing your motivation, your discipline and your commitment to writing. And oh yeah, one more thing: It's about having fun ã at least that's how we look at it here at the Writing Salon. We don't believe in forcing you to listen to dry, droning lectures. You'll never hear a snore erupting from the back of the room. Our courses are very hands-on, with lots of discussion, interaction, laughter and GOOD ENERGY!

We invite writers of all ages and levels of experience to come learn new skills and improve old ones. We also encourage you to think of the Writing Salon as a resource for making connections, finding support and building community with other writers - in short, a place where you can go to strengthen not only your writing but your writing life.
