Write Makes Might Mini Marathon
Readers from all NYWC workshops are invited to share the stage for this marathon reading, reflecting the rich diversity of NYC. The 7th annual Write Makes Might took place on Saturday, May 15, 2010 at University Settlement. Participants in workshops from SAGE, the 14th Street Y, Brooklyn Vet Center, Mano a Mano, Center for the Independence of the Disabled, and the Jan Hus Homeless Program gathered to read and share in the sense of community.
An annual youth marathon reading featuring young writers 6-18 years of age from NYWC youth workshops sharing one stage.
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 are up!
