Interdisciplinary Writers Lab (IWL) is a 3-month, multi-genre master class for local BIPOC writers. It happens every summer. In this unique program emerging writers will be challenged to explore and develop their writing skills and styles across multiple genres.
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
