Free community programming and fee-based courses for writers at every stage.
For over five years, we've offered free programming to writers everywhere. No cost, no catch — just community and craft.
Our flagship free program. A weekly online writing workshop that has run continuously for over five years, drawing writers from around the world. Each session includes prompts, craft discussion, and supportive feedback. Open to all skill levels.
A monthly gathering celebrating poets from our community and beyond. Read your work, listen to others, and connect with fellow poets in a supportive, welcoming environment.
A free book club exploring literature across genres. We read as writers — studying craft, structure, voice, and technique while enjoying great books together.
Informal conversations about craft, publishing, the writing life, and everything in between. Pull up a chair and join us at the table.

Now in its fourth year, our Poet Laureate program recognizes and elevates a poet from our community annually. The Poet Laureate serves as an ambassador for poetry within Garden of Neuro and the broader literary community.
