BROOKLYN WRITERS SPACE

The Brooklyn Writers Space stands by the AAPI community and denounces any hatred, racism, and discrimination towards individuals who identify as such. You can find a list of helpful resources here.

The Brooklyn Writers Space stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement and all those united in the struggle for racial equality and justice. Black Lives Matter.

The Brooklyn Writers Space is currently open. Though we are able to serve our members, we still need help recovering from the losses of the past year. If you would like to support our space, any donation amount will help us pay rent and utilities. DONATE HERE
