Join us for the Right to Write Award Celebration and Reading to honor and center BIPOC voices within the literary world and support the Writability nonprofit, which strives to model inclusivity and sustainability for a future generation of authors. This year’s Right to Write Award recipients, Lillien Waller and Fatima Bhojani, will read from their work and discuss their creative lives, with opening remarks from guest author and activist Jenn Baker. Followed by an audience Q&A.
The Right to Write Awards, for BIPOC and Veteran writers, covers full tuition funding for Monthly Mentorship, a celebrated 7-month online writing program that helps authors integrate writing into their lives in sustainable ways, deepen their craft, and become their own best editors—for life.
Register now for the opportunity to congratulate these two remarkable writers on their Right to Write Awards, hear them read from their work, and to support the important work of Writeability.
“Katey’s passion, commitment, and model of inclusion provide a safe and supportive environment for writers to grow and hone their skills. She skillfully builds writing communities that support diversity and provide exposure to an abundance of writing professionals and literary creatives. Her firm, yet gentle push, has propelled me toward strengthening my inner editor, nurturing my writing-self, and prioritizing my writing. ”
–Lucille Freeman, Right to Write Award recipient, 2021-2022
