What's Happening ...

Make 2023 the year you find community through writing and sharing your stories.
Take a look below at all of the happenings in our different departments.

Community Outreach Programs |
|
|
|
We kicked off 2023 by looking back at all of our accomplishments from last year, including impacting more than 1,500 youth and adults in our community outreach programs.
Read more about our 2022 accomplishments here and our January community outreach programs here.
|
|
We partner with schools and mission-based organizations to provide life-changing writing workshops that give children, teens, and adults supportive spaces to write and share their stories, building self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.
You can learn more about the communities we serve and become a valuable donor here.
We also invite you to join our 2022-2023 Partnership Program with a gift of $250 or more, which supports programming from September 2022 through August 2023.

We are so excited to bring back our Writing on the River retreat for educators IN PERSON at the Oyster Point Hotel on Sunday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Only 50 spots available, so register here today!
During the school year, we provide in-school writing workshops and after-school writing clubs for schools and mission-based organizations.

Our approach is to engage students through their own interests, enhancing their skills and building confidence in a supportive environment.

We are excited to announce we’ve secured a new brick-and-mortar home base for Project Write Now, the Woman’s Club of Red Bank. But don’t worry, we are still offering virtual writing classes for those who are not local or who enjoy the convenience of attending class from your living room.
|
|
We are currently developing our Spring I class schedule, which begins March 6, so stay tuned for the announcement soon.
One-Day Workshops: We are excited about the array of virtual and in-person workshops we’ve been offering. There’s writing inspiration from bowling and plants. You can even join us tonight at Bell Works for A Happier Hour, a writing workshop and open mic. And if you’re a teacher, be sure to join us for Writing on the River, a spring retreat for educators.
For information about all our adult programs along with writing prompts, publication opportunities, and recommended reading, sign up for our Writers Institute newsletter.

book inc, a book writing community |
|
|
|
As we begin 2023, we’re amazed by how much we've grown since last year. Besides our two Incubators (Memoir and Novel), we’ve expanded to include three sections of Book Revision Lab (Novel, Middle Grade/Youth Adult, and Memoir), with a total of 58 writers.
All current programs are filled, and we are not accepting applications at this time.
|
|
Stay tuned as we add more book inc programs in the upcoming year, including another Book Revision Lab and our new Book Submission Lab (details coming soon.) Applications open in April. If you'd like an email to be alerted when the application period opens, let us know at bookinc@projectwritenow.org.

We recently launched our fourth yearlong Screenwriting Incubator with two new students joining last year’s continuing cohorts. In the first six sessions, we introduce new concepts, explore our subconscious through a series of creative exercises, and begin to plot and plan, and break down our story beats.
|
|
We will continue to offer Logline workshops every other month for writers who want to learn how to pitch their script/novel/memoir in one sentence. Stay tuned for dates.
In February, several of our screenwriters will put on their producer’s hat when they go into production on a short film called 100 Proof Warlock. The short was workshopped and revised in our Incubator program. We would not be moving from script to screen if not for the community connections made through PWN.
