Mission
To create a generative and intentional space for Black and queer content creators to be paid to cultivate their writing and creative talents.
Vision
A writing and publishing world where our stories are no longer marginalized.
Our Programs
Financial Support
We are supporting Black, queer, trans/nonbinary, womxn/femmes, and disabled folx for college applications, workshop fees, fellowships, and other writing support. Special priority for students who are first-gen and/or applying to HBCUs. We will cover application fees for as many students as we can.
