Fifth Street Writers

Opening January 2025!

At Fifth Street Writers we are all about creating a community-based space that focuses on the importance of writing, reading and connecting people through stories. Located in downtown Ames, Iowa, you’ll experience a quiet space to write, as well as to discover programs, classes and special events geared for writers of all ages and levels of experience, as well as supporting literary arts enthusiasts.

Borderline Miraculous by Jennifer Drinkwater. Information about the painting and Jennifer Drinkwater below.

Operating under the umbrella of the Ames Writers Collective, Fifth Street Writers seeks to further our combined mission to create healthy communities through the art of writing.

Please be patient with us as we grow our community outreach programs, classes, and open-hours of operation.

On Saturday, January 4th, we will launch our 2025 programming with our 1st Saturday Generative Write from 10 to Noon. Click here for details.
