Write with us.
Whether you’re a published writer or have never written a haiku, join us during National Poetry Month for the InsideOut Write-A-Thon!
Commit to a writing goal every day during the week of April 23rd — a poem, an email to a friend, a family recipe, anything you can imagine! — and then ask for your community’s support. All proceeds from your Write-A-Thon benefit InsideOut’s transformative creative writing programs that launch Metro Detroit students off the page and into extraordinary lives.
All Write-A-Thon participants receive a daily encouraging email from InsideOut’s expert coaches, including the inspiring words of InsideOut student poets and writing prompts to jumpstart your creativity. You’ll have the opportunity to experience our vibrant community through lively in person events the week of the Write-A-Thon. Or, you can fly solo and celebrate your progress using the #iowriteathon hashtag.
As you write and raise funds for Detroit youth, you can receive unique benefits to thank you for your crucial support.
Most of all, we hope participants will experience the many benefits of what writing can do, from mental clarity and focus, to resilience and even improving immune function.
To support the Write-A-Thon you can:
Sign up beginning March 20th
Support a writer’s fundraiser
Make a gift to the general fund
Spread the word!
Write with us in person!
On Sunday, April 23 from 2-4 PM “Fill Your Cup'' with creativity, community, and light refreshments. Gather with other Write-A-Thon participants to grab your complimentary “Create Bravely” t-shirt, share your goals, and jumpstart your writing with an exercise from InsideOut’s own Senior Writer Peter Markus.
InsideOut fundraising experts will be on hand to troubleshoot your Mightycause page, share fundraising tips, and cheer you on!
Light refreshments will be served – good vibes guaranteed. Meet us at Valade Park’s community grill area (or inside the shed in the case of inclement weather). You can RSVP by emailing John at john@insideoutdetroit.org. We hope to see you there!
InsideOut Literary Arts is a Detroit-based organization that encourages students to think broadly, create bravely and share their voices with the wider world. To learn more about our work check out insideoutdetroit.org/what-we-do
