The Pilot Edition

Dedicated to the fusion of art and advocacy, Writers Without Margins is a nonprofit which takes literature beyond conventional spaces. Our mission is to expand access to the literary arts for unheard and under-resourced communities in Greater Boston - including those isolated by the challenges of addiction recovery, trauma, racism, poverty, disability, and mental illness - through free, collaborative, writing workshops, public readings, and publication opportunities intended to empower community, amplify the voices of individuals, and to share stories with the world. This publication is the first annual collection of our participants' writing generated from workshops held at homeless shelters, community health centers, addiction rehab programs, prison re-entry facilities, alternative youth programs, and neighborhood libraries throughout Greater Boston. All profits from sales of this journal go directly to continue our mission.
