SF Creative Writing Institute

The San Francisco Creative Writing Institute (SFCWI) is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and empowering space for writers of all backgrounds. In our workshops, performances, and events, we nurture a sense of belonging, incubating and refining writing skills, helping young storytellers craft meaningful work that engages with issues of our time, narrates the world around them and challenges the status quo. SFCWI believes that anyone can learn to be creative and write their truth. We feature workshops for adult writers beginning-professional level at Harvey Milk Center for the Arts on Saturdays, Creative Writing Workshops for Teens and Elementary school age children over the summer and during the week after school. Our clients range in age from 8-88, and come to us from all walks of life. We work with beginners, and help professional writers achieve publication. Our students have gone on to produce solo shows, become faculty in Creative Writing at top universities, get book deals, and become international best-selling authors. We also have a lot of fun.
