Voices from the Edge – Saturday Mornings

Are you a frontline worker in any position listed as essential in Ohio's Stay-at-Home order from March 2020? Have you had to put your health at risk during this pandemic in order to ensure our communities have access to groceries, deliveries, health care and other essential services?

Join us for a free eight-week online writing program designed to help you write about your experiences, connect with other essential workers, and share your story. You will have the opportunity to write, receive feedback on your work, and potentially have your story published in an online Voices from the Edge anthology. Participants will also receive an honorarium for taking part in the program. Contact Literary Cleveland at info@litcleveland.org with any questions.
