Description

Write Around Portland provides free creative writing workshops. They partner with agencies and organizations (including hospitals, schools, prisons, treatment centers, senior centers, low-income housing buildings, homeless shelters, and other healthcare and social service settings) to provide creative writing workshops for the adults and youth they serve. Trained volunteers facilitate the workshops.

Workshops culminate in free community readings where participants from each group share their work with each other and with members of the public. Write Around Portland also holds readings in correctional facilities and other locations where participants aren’t able to attend the public readings. Write Around Portland is committed to finding the widest possible audience for their writers, so they also publish books of participants’ writing, which they make available in local bookstores, online, and at the reading.
