7CITIESWRITERSPROJECT Seven Cities Writers Project was formed in 2015 to bring creative writing and literacy support programs to underserved communities in the Tidewater Region of Virginia. Our workshop participants include atrisk youth incarcerated men and women members of the LGBTQ community survivors of domestic violence survivors of the Jim Crow Era and residents of homeless shelters and assisted living facilities. All costs are covered by our organization. At Seven Cities Writers Project we believe every voice deserves to be heard and in the healing power of creative expression.
