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.

Free! Workshops for kids and teens on Saturdays,  July 11 through August 15th

Come write with us on Saturdays in the park! Kids and teens (7- 17 year olds) are invited to join is for six weeks of writing and sharing work in a fun and positive environment! Workshops meet in Fort Greene Park from Saturday, July 11 to August 15, from 10:45 to noon.  At the end of the workshops, all participants will be invited to read their writing as part of the Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival on August 22nd!

Registration begins June 15th!

To sign up, contact NY Writers Coalition at 718-398-2883 or email us at fgp@nywriterscoalition.org. Space is limited so you must sign up in advance. Parental permission required.

Readers from all NYWC workshops are invited to share the stage for this marathon reading. Reflecting the rich diversity of NYC, this event features a myriad of writers with previously untapped talent: among them retired adults, recent immigrants, the formerly incarcerated, the homeless, and survivors of serious illness.

Join us Saturday, June 20, 1 PM at Jefferson Market Branch, NY Public Library, 425 Avenue of the Americas at 10th Street for an inspiring afternoon. Admission is FREE.
