NYWC passes HUGE milestone!
We are thrilled to announce that in 2007, we provided more than 1000 creative writing workshop sessions, at more than 45 locations throughout New York City! Thanks to all of our dedicated workshop leaders, our program partners, our donors, and all of our incredible writers for this amazing acheivement!

About NY Writers Coalition
NYWC is one of the largest community writing organizations in the country. NYWC creates opportunities for formerly voiceless members of society to be heard through the art of writing. We provide free, unique and powerful creative writing workshops throughout New York City for people from groups that have been historically deprived of voice in our society, including at-risk youth, adult residents of supportive housing, seniors and others.
We’ve published numerous anthologies of writing by our workshop members as well as 3 issues of Plum Biscuit, an online literary magazine edited by our workshop members. NYWC also produces the Writing Aloud Reading Series, a monthly event featuring members of our community reading alongside established and emerging authors, Write Makes Might, an annual marathon reading by our workshop members; and is a partner in the annual Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival, a series of writing workshops for young people culminating in a reading by the young writers with literary icons.
Our workshop participants have had poems, stories and plays published and performed. Others have read their writing on NPR's All Things Considered, WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show (listen here) and WBAI's Global Movements, Urban Struggles. We're also continually adding words from our workshops to this site, so we hope you enjoy reading our writers' work!
