Looking to connect with other writers of color in an intentional and consistent way that also supports your writing practice? Join us every month for our Writing in Color meetups! This program was created to connect writers of color in Colorado and beyond with fellow creatives so we can celebrate our work and encourage each other along the way. Writing does not have to be a solitary act. At Writing in Color, you'll be reminded of the importance of being in community with other writers who just get it.
Each month we'll come together as a community of BIPOC+ writers to discuss the craft of writing, respond to generative prompts, get inspiration from guest facilitators, and simply enjoy existing as creatives together.
November: In celebration of Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month, we’ll do some writing inspired by Megan Kamalei Kakimoto’s short story collection, Every Drop is a Man’s Nightmare, which uses Native Hawaiian folk tales to touch on themes of femininity, queerness, love, grief, and identity.
December: Let’s celebrate all that we’ve created and the connections we’ve made through Writing in Color in 2024! Join us at Raíces Brewing near Meow Wolf Denver for an evening of drop-in writing activities, reflections on what we've accomplished in 2024, announcements about our plans for Writing in Color in 2025, and an open mic hosted by Raíces. Each attendee will receive one free drink ticket. A food truck will be on site for attendees to purchase from if they wish. The open mic will start at 7 PM.
Sign up for our Writing in Color monthly newsletter to receive updates on what we'll be focusing on during future meetups!
