Join us as we come together and Write Aloud
Created by NY Writers Coalition in 2003, our Writing Aloud Reading Series is a free event that unites NYWC’s community of writers and activists with prominent literary figures to share prose, poetry, and other writings in safe and inspiring places. Here’s how it works:
- Listen and watch a performance by our special guest writer, Phillip B. Williams!
- Receive a writing prompt from our guest writer.
- WRITE.
- Hit the mic!–if you want to. Feel free to just sit back and listen, too!
Thursday, November 17 at 6:00 PM at Pen + Brush (29 E 22nd St)*
This event is part of our Black Writers Program, but writers of all backgrounds can attend.
