About MWW

The Milwaukee Writers Workshop is Milwaukee's best option for critiques and community writing. Founded in 2006 by J Boone Dryden, the Milwaukee's Writers Workshop was created to provide a community for Milwaukee's novice writing community. '

The goal of the Milwaukee Writers Workshop is threefold: Write, Critique, Support.

Write

We want to help you work on your projects. Critique sessions will offer writing prompts, discussions, and other ideas to help spark your writing. Our courses offer ways to hone your skills in particular areas -- from setting, to scene writing, to dialog and beyond.

Critique

Once your pieces are written, we hope to help you improve them through intense critique by our community of writers. Our roundtable style of critique reads stories in advance and then discusses the works in a panel-style of review. As well our writers have a proven track-record of utilizing the knowledge they gain from our workshop to go on and publish their work in a variety of online and print publications.

Support

Most writers are writers because they enjoy the art. But there is a business side to the art, and our hope is that we can direct our writers in helping research their market, submit their work, and deal with the variety of things that come with dealing with the publishing industry. Our Director is knowledgeable in the technical aspects of the publishing industry, having spent a number of years as an editor, assistant editor, and slush reader for a handful of publications both print and online.
