Rittenhouse Writers' Group

Rittenhouse Writers' Group The Rittenhouse Writers’ Group is an acclaimed fiction writing workshop led by James Rahn. Many me You’ll find out what works and what doesn’t in your fiction.

If you’re tired of working in isolation, if you want to meet other writers, if you’re preparing for a graduate level writing program, or if you just want to get some writing done, RWG may be for you. We cut through formality and empty theory to get to your writing. We encourage diversity, and don’t get stuck on one approach or style of writing. RWG provides a forum of readers' voices, a supportive

audience made up of your peers, along with suggestions and advice on ways to improve your writing. The emphasis is on instruction and help, rather than criticism. Mr. Rahn's first novel Bloodnight was released last year. He has published stories and articles in many magazines. He taught for fifteen years at the University of Pennsylvania, and has an MFA in Writing from Columbia University. For more details, visit rittenhousewritersgroup.com.
