On The Same Page with NYWC
NY Writers Coalition has served hundreds of men, women, and youth through our Criminal Justice Writing Program on Rikers Island, and we fully support the freedom of expression and the importance of the written word.
We are excited to continue the mission of Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop: to respond to and uplift our fellow writers–behind bars or not–as they dig deeper into their writing practice: Let’s get On the Same Page.
at this event:
- NYWC will provide and distribute copies of prose & poetry written by NYWC workshop members currently incarcerated at Rikers Island, and from those at other various correctional facilities who would like feedback on their writing.
- The works will be passed around, and you are invited to contribute remarks that respond, uplift, and encourage.
- At the end of the evening, the artistic works covered with our inspiring comments will be collected and mailed back to their authors.
This a free & accessible event that is open to everyone and everything–we hope to see you there!
