St. basiL
Re-Engaging in the Timeless Art of Storytelling
St. Basil Writers’ Workshop prepares a generation of writers to respond to the acute cultural need for restorative stories. Designed for advanced beginning and intermediate fiction and narrative non-fiction writers, the Workshop helps writers hone their craft to connect with today’s readers using time-tested techniques that infuse their words and worlds with the heartbeat of reality. Together with Dostoevsky, we believe that “beauty will save the world.”
“Each class left me feeling more free to write in a way that felt real and natural. I now feel more capable as writer, and I find that I don’t get stuck as often. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve gotten more accomplished creatively this year than I have in the last decade combined, and I don’t believe I’d be where I am now without the St. Basil Workshop.
I’m almost finished with my first novella, and so many ideas are flowing I almost can’t keep track! I feel like a writing career isn’t just a fun thought or dream, but a very real and practical possibility for me now.
100% would recommend St. Basil Workshop! For writers and storytellers, the instruction received and connections made were priceless. I feel like I can write again, and I don’t know how I would have gotten to this point were it not for the Workshop and the grace of God.”

“Writing for me is no longer a possibility, but a reality. I’ve had a clear picture of the story I’m writing for a long time now, but the St. Basil Workshop has given me a clearer approach on how I should write it. It has done more good for me than all my years in college combined (especially in writing fiction).”
“The St. Basil Workshop has been very influential. I’m essentially re-starting my main project from scratch, and checking my new version against class notes and recordings. Both the depth of story-telling and the “tactical” techniques far exceeded my expectations. I’ve already been recommending the program! I genuinely think the course was completely worth the time, effort, and tuition. The depth of material presented is really not something I’ve found anywhere else.”
