Better Writers. Better Stories. Better World.
The New Orleans Writers Workshop is dedicated to inspiring fellow writers to realize their creative vision. Start from hereAbout.
Since its founding in Spring 2017, the New Orleans Writers Workshop has aimed to affordably meet the need for quality creative writing classes in the New Orleans community. Joining forces with an ever-growing number of community partners that embraced the venture like only New Orleans can, NOWW has held one-day, two-day, four-week, and nine-week classes at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, A Studio in the Woods, and the Southern Hotel, among other venues, in addition to free workshops at public libraries and in nonprofit or congregate settings, including Orleans Parish Prison, Project Lazarus, and 826 New Orleans.

“Every course I have taken at NOWW has been on point! The teachers all share a passion for creativity! Inspiring indeed.”
“I’ve taken writing classes all over the country, but none have improved my writing like Allison’s. Allison’s craft lectures were far beyond the basic tips on craft I’d received in other classes. Allison taught me how fiction works and how successful writers convey meaning in their work. She chose readings that introduced me to new writers and taught me how to use those readings to develop my own writing. My writing improved because my understanding of craft improved. She taught me how to convey meaning in my work, which has taken my writing to the next level. I’m in an MFA program now. I wouldn’t be here without Allison.”
Jessica is one of those rare writers who is not only excellent at her craft, but also a superior teacher. I have taken classes with her through the New Orleans Writers’ Workshop and she has served for the last several years as a guest lecturer in my creative writing course at Tulane. Jessica cares deeply about each of her students, and is able to form a group dynamic that has students enthusiastically creating and sharing their work. I can’t speak more highly of her as an educator.
