Readings & Workshops Program (California and New York)

Readings & Workshops Program (California and New York) is sponsored by Poets & Writers Inc.. This program provides mini-grants to support readings and writing workshops throughout California and New York State. The grants help pay poets, fiction writers, and creative nonfiction writers for their participation in literary events.

POETS & WRITERS INC - California Arts Council Statewide and Regional Networks With support from the California Arts Council, Poets & Writers will strengthen the vibrant literary network built over decades of work with California writers and literary presenters.

We will support readings and writing workshops in communities across the state, convene meetings, host retreats, provide technical support, and facilitate communication statewide. The Readings & Workshops program provides small grants to support readings and writing workshops throughout California and New York State.

In California alone, last year we distributed $23,250 in the form of writers fees to 114 writers participating in 216 literary events in partnership with 55 organizations located in 20 counties across the state, reaching an audience of more than 10,000. Through our flagship publication, Poets & Writers Magazine, as well as our website, pw.

org, we serve as the creative writer’s go-to resource for trustworthy information and advice about writing and publishing. Our website draws 1. 7 million unique visitors annually, 10% from California.

Poets & Writers Magazine has a readership of 100,000, 10% in California. We also sponsor awards for writers, including the Jackson Poetry Prize and the Writers Exchange Award; past winners of these two prizes include 15 California writers.

We offer unique professional development opportunities for writers, including online courses that demystify the publishing process and help writers delve deeper into craft, and Get the Word Out, a publicity incubator for early career authors.

Countless writers have told us that discovering Poets & Writers Magazine is what first helped them shape their writing goals, so to inspire the next generation we distribute free subscriptions to high school students who show dedication to creative writing, in partnership with groups that recognize achievement in young writers, and to high school creative writing teachers for classroom use.
