Write Now! SF Bay is run by and for writers/artists of color to nurture an ongoing multicultural community of emerging and established writers of color though a year-around program of creative writing workshops, public events and publications. Participants create and present prose, poetry, and visual art that reflect the diverse complexities of the San Francisco Bay Area’s 60% BIPOC population. Since 2015, we have served over 400 local Black, Brown, Indigenous and People of Color—Latinx, Asian/Asian American, Middle Eastern, LGBTTQIA+ and more. We bring together emerging writers with published writers, educators, healers and activists working for change.

We value cross-fertilization and we outreach to diverse communities so they can engage with each other within the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Our non-hierarchical approach is “Each One, Teach One.” We learn by listening to each other and supporting individuals to find their unique voice and contribution to the circle of humanity.
