Having a blast! Encouraged to learn that more #AAPI parents are encouraging, (or at least allowing) their kids topursue writing: fiction, nonfiction, poetry or playwriting. Many of them have MFAs from top programs too. @sewaneewriters.bsky.social

SWC has started publishing craft essays as a resource for the larger writing community! We'd like to give a HUGE thanks to the Arts Build Communities grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission that made this venture possible.
