Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Write Now! SF Bay has been led by and for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2015. We support writers and visual artists by
• building multicultural solidarity around our unique identities as people of color by
• reclaiming our culture and history
• nurturing personal and community well-being, and
• promoting civil liberties and social justice. We offer
• Year-round free or donation-based creative writing workshops
• Readings, panels, and other public events
• Anthologies and mini publications in print, with plans to expand online. In the past sis years over 400 BIPOC writers and artists have participated in our programs. We bring together established and emerging writers across race, class, age, and other barriers. We publish poets, memoirists, fiction writers, essayists, visual artists and more. Our work reflects the complex realities of San Francisco’s 60% people of color—from the formerly homeless to educators, healers, activists, and just plain folks working for change. We have been fiscally sponsored by Intersection for the Arts for three years.
