Lead a Workshop

Share your expertise and help other writers grow. WFWA workshops are interactive, small-group sessions that focus on craft, revision, or the business of writing. Led by experienced authors, editors, and coaches, our workshops give members space to learn, connect, and build confidence in their work.

Workshops may take place as a single live session or a three-week series. Most are member-exclusive and offered throughout the year. WFWA provides presenters with full promotional support and a modest honorarium in recognition of their time and preparation.

You do not need to be a WFWA member to propose or lead a workshop. We welcome instructors from all backgrounds who bring valuable experience and insight to the women’s fiction writing community.
