Welcome! We hope that you will take a look around our site to learn about our writing programs and class offerings.

Who We Are

Women Writing for (a) Change® Bloomington is part of a national network of writing schools that provide opportunities for individuals to craft more conscious lives through the art of writing and the practices of community.

In our programs, the individual voice is nurtured, developed, and celebrated. We create unique learning environments to make this possible.

Writers in our creative writing circles find a welcoming, safe community for self-expression, discovery, and meaningful connection. Programs include workshops, retreats, and thematic or genre-specific circles, offered year-round.

The Writing for a Change Foundation of Bloomington is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization DBA Women Writing for (a) Change® Bloomington.




Gratitude to our funders and community supporters!

WWf(a)C activities are made possible in part by the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and our regional partner, the Brown County Community Foundation.
