Underground Writing: a literature-based creative writing program serving migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-risk communities in northern Washington through literacy and personal transformation.

Note: As you know, friends, our program is focused on providing creative writing workshops that promote writing, reading, self-discovery, and voice amplification in a variety of community settings. Because of the current health threats presented by the coronavirus to our students and the Underground Writing family of workers and volunteers, we are suspending all workshop activity for the time being. In doing so, we are following county, state, and national mandates for precautionary measures. A variety of Underground Writing projects and administrative functions will continue via independent tasks and meetings conducted via e-mail and video conference. We will keep you updated as the days and weeks progress. Thank you for your interest and impact on our students and the Underground Writing community. Keep listening. Keep healthy and safe.
