As far as we know, Crafted Creative offers the only multi-week, classroom-style, critique-focused writing workshops in the Rogue Valley, outside of a university setting.

That’s no small thing; however, we recognize we can only make up part of the picture for any writer in our community.

With that in mind, we offer the following (much abridged) list of resources, local and online, in hopes that writers in the Rogue Valley can benefit from more of what’s available to them. If you or your group/organization offer support for local writers, are not listed below, and would like to be, please contact us.

Other Local Resources:

• Willamette Writers – Southern Oregon Chapter
• NaNoWriMo – Rogue Valley Region
• Young Musicians & Artists (for school-age writers)

National / Online Resources:

• Scibophile.com (online peer critique platform used in all our workshops)
• WritersWeekly.com (we equate reading this every week to taking a college course about the publishing industry)
• NaNoWriMo (the main site for this international event, offering so much more than just a word-filled November)
• Poets & Writers (excellent resource for info on contests, publishing opportunities, available grants and more)

Writing Software

• Y-Writer (free planning/drafting software platform for writers)
• Scrivener (world-renowned, professional planning/drafting software platform for writers – free 30-day trail)
