At Write Around Portland, we LOVE getting started.

We love putting our pens to paper and keeping them moving. But sometimes, a rewrite can be equally enriching.

That’s why, in 2023, we’re launching a revamped set of newsletters!

Our spring season of writing is underway.

We’re celebrating these friendly (and COVID-safe!) faces who accomplished a BIG milestone with us. They are newly minted volunteer Write Around facilitators, who completed 27 hours of training last month!

We’re cheering for Lora Lafayette, a writer from one of our very first workshops! Lora’s memoir, Possums Run Amok: A True Tale Told Slant was published to great acclaim and is now nominated for an Oregon Book Award!

We are so happy to share that Chris McDonald has accepted the role as Write Around Portland’s new Executive Director.

Change is in the air. We are excited to welcome two new positions to help us achieve our mission of respect, writing, and community even more profoundly.

At the start of 2021, Write Around Portland added this resource and advocacy section as a new part of our monthly e-newsletter.  You can revisit all of the posts, resources, and prompts from 2021 in this post!
