Literary luminaries and top performers share stories of love, lust and loss as we raise our martinis and toast love’s swooning, two-faced, delusional heart. Proceeds benefit NYWC’s free, unique and powerful creative writing programs across New York City. This year’s Red and Black Party was on Monday, February 8. Photos from this year’s party are up!
The Writing Aloud reading series presents writers from the NYWC community reading alongside established and emerging writers. The next Writing Aloud will be on Monday, April 19.
Devote a day to writing, attend free workshops, meet other writers, and help NYWC continue to provide creative writing workshops to unheard New Yorker! The next Write-A-Thon will be on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at the NY Center for Independent Publishing. This year, for the first time ever, we are expanding the Write-A-Thon to the Web. So if you can’t make it out, you can still Write Your A** Off! Sign up now.
