Don't let writer's block stop you.
WRITE NOW.
We're a writing school that welcomes anyone who wants to learn how to write stories—no magical talent, prior training, or writing experience required.
A step-by-step approach
We'll teach you how to build stories in steps and stages that you'll be able to replicate outside of class.
Learning by doing
What better way to learn writing than by, you guessed it, writing! Our classes include lectures, but you'll be doing writing exercises for the most part.
Concrete learning outcomes
Each course has specific target outputs or skills that you'll attain after having done all the required exercises.
Please refer to the course description for the learning outcomes of each course.
Our creative writing workshops are available online or face-to-face, for individuals or groups.

Learning Modalities
The best bang for the buck—our online writing courses contain comprehensive content and more time for completion. Coursework in each of Storywriting School's online workshops is composed of text lectures and writing exercises, which you will have seven days to finish at your own pace. Our online courses follow the usual workflow of a writer: lots of reading, lots of writing, and a flexible schedule that ends in a deadline. Finish on time and you get a printable certificate of completion. If you want the greatest value for money, training in the writer's lifestyle, or a workshop that's suited to your schedule and location, this modality is best for you.
Note: Because our online courses require time management, we require students aged 8-12 to have a parent or guardian to assist the child in going through coursework.
Our face-to-face classes are shorter, but more targeted. Dr. Joem Antonio customizes the group's chosen course to their priorities and objectives. For now, we do not have pre-scheduled classes like we did before the pandemic; however, you may form your own group and choose a course from one of our sixteen writing courses. We do small group classes (1-3 students) called Cafe Classes in our partner venues. We're also open to engagements at other locations.
