In Progress Workshops

More about Inprint Writers Workshops

Inprint Writers Workshops are considered Houston’s “Best Place for Aspiring Writers” (Houston Press) and are led by accomplished local authors, including students, alumni, and faculty from the prestigious University of Houston Creative Writing Program.

Inprint Writers Workshops are open to individuals of all backgrounds, including those who are exploring creative writing for the first time, as well as aspiring writers who want to prepare work for publication.

Workshops are conducted in various genres, including fiction, memoir, personal essay, poetry, and more. Most workshops meet once a week, online via Zoom or in-person at Inprint House, and run for 6-10 weeks. Schedules vary for Inprint Teachers-as-Writers Workshops and Inprint Intensive Workshops.

Workshops are modeled on graduate-level creative writing courses, and may include short in-class writing assignments to jumpstart the writing process, as well as work outside of class that will entail reading the work of select published writers, critiquing the work of other workshop participants, and writing a piece to be workshopped by the class. Each participant will receive written comments from the instructor.

"I have taken multiple writing workshops in Houston and remotely, and this one has been my favorite so far...it has been the most I've learned in this short amount of time." Inprint Poetry Workshop Participant, 2024
"I learned how much it means to discover the genres of poetry, new poets to be inspired by; the diversity of participants was great." Inprint Poetry Workshop Participant, 2024
"I've been working on the same material for years, and I've been stuck. This generative class, the unpredictable exercises helped me." Inprint Fiction Workshop Participant, 2024
"This workshop opened up the way I think about writing and being more receptive to the 'drafting' process. Writing has felt like a daunting task in perfectionism and it was great to have a structure to play with writing instead." Inprint Poetry Workshop Participant, 2024

Policies and Procedures

Workshop registration is only available online through the Inprint website. Registration by phone or snail mail is not an option.

You must be at least 21 years of age to register for a workshop.

Registration is open until the workshop is filled or until class begins.

If the workshop you would like to take is full when you try to register, click here to join the waiting list. An Inprint staff member will notify you by email if a space opens up in the workshop.

If you are blind or visually impaired and need assistance registering for an Inprint Writers Workshop, Intensive Workshop, or Teachers-As-Writers Workshop, please contact the Inprint office 2 business days before planning to register by calling 713-521-2026.

Inprint reserves the right to limit the number of multi-week workshops for which participants may register per session.

Inprint reserves the right to prohibit enrollment in the same multi-week workshop by immediate family members and significant others.

Inprint reserves the right to prohibit enrollment in a workshop based on past interaction with the participant. In such a case, the participant will be provided a full refund before the class begins and notified via email by an Inprint staff member.

If a workshop session is cancelled due to inclement weather, community health emergency, or instructor illness, the class will extend one week. If an extension to a future week is not possible for an in-person class, we reserve the option to move the class session to a virtual setting over Zoom or similar platform.

For in-person workshops, virtual attendance is not an option because we are not set up as a hybrid classroom.

For online workshops, if a participant does not attend two consecutive sessions without notifying the instructor, the instructor has the right to remove that person from shared e-communications with workshop participants.

Online workshop sessions will not be recorded for future viewing to protect the privacy of other participants and their creative work.

If a workshop is accidentally oversubscribed (due to a technical error), Inprint reserves the right to cancel the registration and will provide a full refund and notification to the participant within 48 hours.

All workshops are modeled on graduate-level creative writing courses, and may include short in-class writing exercises and outside reading assignments. Participants are expected to read and write comments about each other’s written pieces. In addition to time spent on one’s own writing, the workshop may take up to two hours of work per week, with the exception of Inprint Intensive Workshops. Prior creative writing experience is not needed unless otherwise specified.

Inprint Writers Workshops aim to create an inclusive environment in which participants from all walks of life feel supported and encouraged in their writing endeavors. All workshop participants will be expected to avoid offensive language when interacting with each other and the instructor, whether it be in verbal or written communication. Participants who use language that is deemed offensive, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc., will be removed from the class at the discretion of the instructor and will not be provided a refund if the workshop has already begun.

Inprint workshops offer participants a nurturing environment conducive to developing writing skills. The success of the workshops is in part dependent on the mutual support of the participants.

CANCELLATION POLICY

To cancel your registration and receive a partial refund, you must speak to an Inprint staff member by calling 713-521-2026 at least 10 business days prior to the beginning of the workshop. Please note that for Inprint Writers Workshops, a $150 cancellation fee will be deducted from the amount you are reimbursed. NO refunds will be given after the 10-day deadline for cancellation. For those registered for an Inprint Teachers-As-Writers Workshop, the registration fee is nonrefundable. The registration fee and tuition for Inprint Intensive Workshops are also nonrefundable.
