LA Writers Lab is a writing workshop founded by author and screenwriter Alan Watt that offers creative writing classes in which writers share the goal of having a consistent creative life and building a body of work. LA Writers Lab exists to facilitate the writer in developing a process that works, through accessing the unconscious in getting one’s story from his imagination to the page. Working in this way, the writer creates stories that are compelling, tranformative tales. |

“The idea of bringing a first draft of a novel to fruition seemed too daunting and overwhelming to even consider until I was introduced to Al’s 90-Day Novel Class. His methodology is deep and precise, and helps unearth unconscious themes and characters in you that let the story almost tell itself.”
