Our Mission
Our mission is to develop writers of color through craft, career, community, and publishing, so our stories can be written, shared, and preserved.
Our Vision
Our vision is to help build a literary world where writers of color have the community, opportunities, resources, and access to build sustainable careers and establish our stories as part of the literary record.
How We Support WritersSince 1996, The Writer’s Block has supported writers of color through workshops, trainings, events, and publishing. We welcome writers across all genres and publishing stages, and have grown beyond Dallas into a broader literary community.
