IWC supports Indiana writers of all ages and backgrounds and reaches out to people whose voices are rarely heard. Classes and workshops taught by published writers provide writing education that encourages creative expression and enhances the communication skills necessary for success in school, in the workplace, and in life.
IWC members range from beginners to professional, award-winning Indiana authors—and everything in between. We are a lively community that provides a wealth of opportunities to learn about writing and to connect with like-minded writers. Learn More
