Welcome to Sister Writes
Since 2010, Sister Writes has built community around stories. Through creative writing workshops, public arts events, and literary magazines, we strive to empower women, provide mentorship, and inspire the community with vital stories about women’s lives.
With heaps of hands-on practice, learn creative writing skills in a peer-led group.
