Manifest your story.
Welcome to Sweet Lab Writing Workshops — an intimate writing center in NYC where the focus is on storytelling. Whether you are writing memoir, personal essays, short stories, novels or college application essays, we will help you write your story.
Writers at Work.
We’re talking to writers, authors and storytellers about their writing processes and books they love.
A Writing Community & Beyond.
What we’re reading this year to keep us inspired.
Memoirs, Novels, Short Stories, Personal Essays, Craft Essays — we love to read them all. Reading a range of authors and a variety of writing styles is a great way to get inspired and polish your own writing voice.
We build each other up.
Our community is made up of writers, editors, journalists, authors, agents, publishers, and publicists. We all need deadlines and readers who are eager to dive into our first, second, and twentieth drafts. This is the essential truth of any writing workshop: Writers need other writers to keep them accountable, and that’s what we do.
We work one-on-one.
With an approach that includes brainstorming, outlining, structural writing, revising, and editing, we offer one-to-one coaching tailored to every kind of writer. We provide support for every stage of the writing process, with the goal of helping you write an essay, short story, memoir, or novel that will make its way into the published world.
Envision your stories coming to life.
We help get our students and clients published.

Laura Zinn Fromm’s Writing Our Stories seminar is where I learned about writing personal essay[s] and memoir[s]. Laura’s reading assignments, guided class discussion, and insightful comments on writing submissions opened my eyes to story structure and helped me to clarify my own voice in writing.
