Write Pittsburgh

A peaceful walk in the park? Your cat? The perfect pen? What helps YOU write?

A few photos from the Black Transformative Arts Network event, Creative Black Futures, at Kelly Strayhorn Theater last weekend! To see so many talented young people demonstrating their gifts under one roof was truly inspiring. Big shout out to everyone who worked hard to put this together and support our youth!

There are just a few days left to submit work for our online youth literary magazine, Starry False Lily! The theme for this issue is MUSIC! Do you write music? Do you have original lyrics that you would like to share with the world? Is there a song or artist that inspires you? This is for writers age 18 and under. The deadline to submit is June 30th, so don't wait! #music #starryfalselily #youthwriters #rhythym #youth #publication #literarymagazine

Our fundraiser is this Saturday! There will be food, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and open mic readings, writing games, and WP merch for sale! Events like these are what help keep our programs affordable (and some free!), so we appreciate your support! Unable to attend but still want to donate? https://lnkd.in/ef8HpHgc Please RSVP on our website or send an email to info@writepittsburgh.com. Hope to see you there! Note: Please do not bring pets to this event. Unfamiliar animals can be very stressful for some folks, and we want everyone to be able to relax. #picnic #fundraiser #writing #writersofig #nonprofit #nonprofitsupport #workshop #pittsburgh

An intergenerational workshop in the historical setting of Braddock, PA. Part of the Write on Site Pop!Up series from Write Pittsburgh. For writers ages 13 and up. In this workshop, we will examine remembering culture—participating, forgetting, and feeling a sense of self in the context of the Jewish connection to race, place, industry, and class in the Pittsburgh region.
