Grackle and Grackle hosts creative writing classes taught by talented writers who love to teach.

We are a community of writers,

supporting each other,
moving forward,
wherever the path leads.

  • joining an MFA program

  • creating a memoir for family

  • writing for personal reasons

  • working through a novel’s structure

  • or just finding the right genre

Grackle and Grackle is Personal.

Many writers who have participated in our workshops have been published, which we are proud of. But what we care about most is that folks feel a sense of belonging. 

Our teachers are experts in their genre and gifted community builders.
Our students are the best in the world.

Grackle and Grackle is a Home for Writers.

Our workshops take place in a historic artist’s studio once owned by renowned Houston painter Dorothy Hood. The Woodland Heights bungalow still hums with creative energy, once a space for canvas and paint, now a place for gathering, learning, and writing. We break bread together and invest in one another’s work.

Grackle and Grackle is a place to exchange stories and ideas. In any given workshop, you’re likely to encounter a perspective very different from your own - sitting right across the table.
