Writing in Color
Writing in Color programming celebrates writers and creatives of all genres and levels, focusing on the traditions, history, triumphs, and challenges of those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC+). The goal of these programs is to support BIPOC+ individuals as they focus on their writing practice by creating a supportive and encouraging community. We ask that all participants be mindful of this intention; anyone who is disruptive may be asked to leave.
*BIPOC+ includes but is not limited to: African, Indigenous, Native, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Arab, and Multiracial heritage.
Queer Creatives
Queer Creatives focuses on queer writers and makers. We aim to connect queer creatives with peers because we know that LGTBQIA+ lives are enriched and affirmed through collective storymaking and storysharing. No matter how your creativity manifests, no matter how your queerness manifests, this is a space for you! At Lighthouse Writers Workshop, we aim to offer a more demographically complete representation of our writing community, offering a space that celebrates and welcomes the rich diversity of the writing community.
