Passion. Experience. Commitment.
Award-winning authors Susanna Daniel and Michelle Wildgen founded the Madison Writers' Studio in 2013 with the dream of bringing intimate, high-quality writing classes to a round-table setting.
In our workshops, writers develop meaningful connections with other writers to inspire and encourage each other.
Michelle and Susanna have decades of teaching and editing experience, and both have published award-winning novels, essays, and short stories.
The MWS has been featured in the Capital Times, the Isthmus, the Wisconsin State Journal, Madison Magazine, and Brava. Here’s a recent piece about graduates who have gone on to publish.
“This reminded me of the joy I used to feel in learning new skills and trying new things. I’ve already started the next MWS class.”
Our Instructors
“Given the quality and abundance of the feedback from the instructor and classmates, I found this class to be the best value as well. You get your money’s worth, and more.”
