Write Wilmington
Write Wilmington Spring 2026
Join us Friday mornings, 9 to 10 am EST, throughout the spring for Season Ten of Write Wilmington!
Write Wilmington is a free, online writing initiative that was founded during the Pandemic by Associate Professor Sayantani Dasgupta. Its goal is to push our imaginations, exercise our creative muscles, and carve out time and space for writing in community with one another. Join us in the creative weeks ahead, with sessions led by esteemed writers from UNCW and the literary community beyond.
We are continuing our theme from last season: CHAIR/ROOM/SKY ~ Writing About Place. We will focus on setting and world-building.
How do you transport your reader to the heart of the story? Can there even be a heart of the story without it being set in a specific Time and Place? How might you elevate your writing, so the reader feels they have been invited along and that they are right there inside the story with your characters, experiencing it all? Through innovative prompts from our seasoned instructors, learn how to turn Place into a character and bring it alive.
We meet on Zoom, Friday mornings from 9:00-10:00 AM EST. For Spring 2026 registration, visit Write Wilmington Spring 2026 – Fill out form.
