With support from the California Arts Council, Jamii Publishing will create a literary arts writing workshop series, poetry reading and retreat, Wild Seed, for black women. We are seeking support in the amount of $25,000 that will be utilized for venue rental, facilitator fees, participant scholarships, marketing and promotional materials, and logistical arrangements necessary for the successful implementation of the retreat.
At Jamii Publishing, our core programs and services are focused on amplifying the voices of women and gender nonbinary poets and writers of color through community-based projects. Jamii Publishing accepts submissions from various artists, such as performance poets, community teachers looking to publish anthologies or poetic memoirs, and other artists who want to share their work. Jamii publishing is committed to providing a platform for underrepresented voices in the publishing industry and supporting the amplification of these voices and their work through all form of literary arts and literary arts support.
