Write Denver is the community outreach program of Lighthouse Writers Workshop whose mission is to get people in the city writing, and then building an audience for those writings. By providing a platform for Denverites to write and share their stories in surprising and joyful ways, we hope to elevate the self-worth of storytellers right here in our community, whether they’re hipsters, professionals, retirees, construction workers, unemployed, kids hanging out at the skate-park, or people new to the city or country.
We want people to release their imaginations and see what happens. We want people to see each other as people.
Lighthouse Writers Workshop is the largest nonprofit literary center in Colorado and the Mountain West. Since 1997, we’ve offered high-quality writing instruction in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, and many other genres.
