The Chelsea Writer's Workshop has been helping authors grow for over twenty years. In that time many of our members have gone from "I'd like to write" to selling stories and winning awards.

Here's a selection of our member's works.

As Told By Things

This is an anthology of tales told by and about inanimate objects.

What's more inanimate than a rock?

When he was teaching in Armenia, Clif visited a Roman era temple and learned it's history of being a pagan temple, Christian temple, destroyed by earthquake, rebuilt, plundered and finally restored as a historic building.

For an inanimate rock, the capstone had a pretty interesting existence.

That was the basis for this tale.

Tuff was Clif and Carol's first professional sale. Clif wrote the first two drafts -- which were both rejected -- and Carol reworked the story, adding philosophy and bringing the rock to the understanding that even it is mortal.
