Description:
Good literature is a joy to share with friends. As gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered writers, we grow in our craft by sharing stories with others who understand the background to our writing. NewTown Writers' mission is to foster and give voice to literature - plays, novels, poetry, short stories, essays - which springs from our experiences. Since 1980, NewTown Writers has provided Chicago's GLBT literary community a forum to share literary offerings with those who understand the life experiences from which we draw for our work. NewTown Writers is open to everyone, and holds frequent public events, including a performance series, dramatist workshops, as well as our regular every-other-Thursday workshop-style meetings. NewTown Writers is also dedicated to advancing gay literary expression in publishing with our literary anthology, Off The Rocks , and our e-zine, Swell.
