Los Angeles Writers Group was founded on a simple belief: everyone has a story worth telling,
and every writer benefits from a supportive community. Nestled in the hills of Laurel Canyon,
we've created a warm, judgment-free environment where beginners and seasoned authors alike
can grow.
From fiction and memoir to screenwriting and professional communication, our classes and
private sessions meet you where you are. No pretension, no gatekeeping — just honest craft
and genuine encouragement.

What our community says
Real words from real people who found their voice at LA Writers Group.
"I walked in not knowing if I could write a coherent paragraph. Six months later,
I finished a short story and read it aloud in front of the group. This place changed
something in me — I finally believe I'm a writer."

with a score I didn't think was possible. The instructor was patient, encouraging,
and knew exactly how to push me forward."
