Kearny Street Workshop brings to you a long-standing program that has supported and springboarded many API and BIPOC writers and artists since 2005.
IWL is a three-month multigenre writing program for writers who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The goals of the IWL program include: providing local emerging writers/artists with the opportunity to challenge, develop, and expand their practice by working with established writers in a variety of genres; to contribute to the development of new literary forms and language that incorporate multiple forms of creative expression; to provide emerging artists with the opportunity to build community and connect with writers in the literary world; and to publish in a print anthology that highlights work by exciting new writers committed to exploring new forms and voices.
