Welcome to Re:WritE!

Re:WritE is a writing collective that seeks to nurture, introduce, and promote new voices.

We are local and global and independent.

What we offer is a new writing lifestyle that preserves the necessarily independent act of writing but that insists on the strength of community. Weekend writing seminars are not enough. Our belief is that beautiful, original writing will arise from a combination of work-shopping, craft study, and community.

This is a call for weekend warriors and late night bloggers to come out of the literary closet and join a collection of fellow artists who are committed to each other’s success and growth.

We encourage all levels of involvement. If you want to join one of our writing circles, then we are for you. If you want to exchange your finished text for critique with another author, then we are for you. If you want to be published in our Review, we are for you. If you want opportunities to read your work publicly then we are for you.

This movement is artistically broad. We hope that what begins as a movement of writers will encourage other artists of every aesthetic discipline to cluster around us so that our community will expand into something more creatively holistic.

So grab your pen and your Moleskine and join us in this adventure. We’d love to meet you.
