NY Writers Coalition has served hundreds of men, women, and youth through our Criminal Justice Writing Program on Rikers Island, and we fully support the freedom of expression and the importance of the written word. 

We are excited to continue the mission of Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop: to respond to and uplift incarcerated writers as they dig deeper into their writing practice. Let’s get on the same page!

At this event: 

NYWC will provide and distribute copies of prose and poetry from incarcerated writers at various facilities seeking feedback on their writing. You are invited to contribute remarks that respond, uplift, and encourage. At the end of the evening, the pieces (now covered with our inspiring feedback) will be collected and mailed back to the authors. 

On the Same Page is a free event and open to everyone; please share it with anyone you think may be interested in joining us. Snacks and drinks will be provided; we hope to see you there!
