The Writers' Loft
Poet's Corner
Poetry and verse novels are such unique ways of telling stories and evoking emotion.
This is your corner of the Writers' Loft!
Check out the upcoming Writing with Humor and Heart workshop with Anna Staniszewski!
Virtual Workshop, March 5, 7pm ET
(Plus 2 week replay!)
$35 (10% off for members)

Make your readers laugh AND cry!
In this hands-on workshop, we'll break down ways to give our fiction more depth and range through humorous and/or heartfelt moments that will have readers laughing and crying. Whether you're a "serious" writer looking to add levity to your work, or a "funny" writer wanting to get more emotional depth into your stories, this workshop is for you.
Writers of all genres welcome.

Join a WL Group
Groups are the backbone of the Loft. You don't even have to be a member to join.
We have crit groups, reading groups, and productivity groups that meet virtually.
And if you don't see a group that matches your genre or what you need, we'll create one, just put a note in the free group chat "looking for a new group!"

Become a Member
Go all in and join! We have two membership types, and depending on which one you choose, you get full access to the exclusive Loft online community forum (privately hosted; not on social media sites), or unlimited drop-ins to our space in Hudson MA.
Both memberships give a 10% discount on all workshops and classes, and publication opportunities like our latest anthology, Gnomes & Ungnomes!
Help keep the Loft afloat!

All five of our past anthologies featured poetry. (So you can say we're well-versed in poetry at the WL!)
