The Writers' Place

Welcome to The Writers’ Place!
This Meet-Up is for aspiring authors who would love to take writing and creativity classes in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Skip the bridges and tunnels. Join Creativity/Writing Coach, Barbara Millman Cole and Freelance Editor and YA author, Karen Morison-Knox, for classes on writing, editing, and creativity.

Transform into the writer you want to be. Barbara and Karen, both award-winning authors, will help you discover the joy of writing and the secrets to writing well. Their goals are to help you move into creativity, and to support you on the path to publication.

The Writers’ Place meets in Lafayette. We hope to see you there!
