The Community Writing Project (CWP) offers writing workshops in poor and immigrant neighborhoods throughout the Chicago area, and publishes writers’ stories in the magazine Real Conditions.
We believe every person is a thinker and an artist, and that the seeds of change can be found in the artistic and intellectual renderings of ordinary people.

happening now

The Community Writing Project Collective currently supports and facilitates several writing groups. For more information about current writing groups, click here.

During the months of September and early October, workshop facilitator training sessions took place. To learn more about facilitating writing groups, see our resources. For information about current or future facilitator training sessions, please contact us directly.
