The Detroit Writing Room

The Detroit Writing Room opened in June 2019 as an inspirational space in the heart of Detroit for people to work, write and connect with a community of writers and creatives. 

Nine months later, the pandemic hit, halting our in-person writing workshops, coaching sessions, book talks and more.  

But Covid wasn’t about to stop us. We took all our literary offerings to Zoom and continued to help aspiring and veteran writers publish novels, children’s books, memoirs, poems, articles and pursue other creative endeavors. 

Since March 2020, our writing coaches have helped people across the country and world tell their stories. 

Members and guests have access to our 30 professional coaches who can offer feedback and editing for business materials — such as website copy, e-newsletters, social media content, professional bios, press releases, speeches or grants — or literary works such as fiction, nonfiction, essays and poetry.

The coaches are award-winning journalists, New York Times bestselling authors, English professors and PR professionals. We have a literary agent on the team to help with query letters and navigating the publishing industry. If you’ve always wanted to write a picture book, our children’s book coach will get you started. Our social media coach can help grow your following to attract more readers or clients, and our career coach will polish your resume and cover letter so you can land your dream job. Check out all our coaches at detroitwritingroom.com/coaches.

If you’re new here, we’d love to have you join our virtual membership which includes discounts on coaching, workshops, events and other fun perks like purple pens and a copy of Perspectives Magazine produced by high school students in our camps. Learn more at detroitwritingroom.com/services.
