The Out of the Margins program is currently being redesigned. Please check back later in the year for more information.

StreetWrites is a workshop of homeless and low-income writers in Seattle, Washington. Our mission is to help each other improve writing skills, get published, increase the voice of the marginalized, and break down stereotypes.

In Seattle, at the offices of the Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project, we have writing workshops and resources including desktop publishing and Internet access; we also offer instruction in whatever skills you need to get your vision out. There will soon be StreetWrites workshops at other locations in seattle, too, and we have an online workshop list with members far from Seattle.

Many of our writers choose to submit work to Real Change; we also have a library of information on other markets and assist in making submissions. In addition, we have published three of our own chapbooks and are into the second issue of our own zine. We have had a table at Bumbershoot arts & literature festival every year and we sell individual member publications as well as StreetWrites publications.

Workshop Schedule
Please call and ask for Anitra on Monday or Friday between 5pm and 8pm to set up a time to come in or contact Anitra through the StreetWrites blog.
