Each summer, VONA gathers the most accomplished writers of color to teach, mentor and lead week long workshops. Faculty of color, accomplished artists in their field, facilitate rigorous and nurturing workshops.  Writers explore their craft in a supportive and understanding environment, exchange ideas with established writers and become part of a community of writers of color dedicated to issues of social justice. Workshops are limited to 10-12 participants.  Watch for our VONA/Voices Summer 2020 workshops!

“One of those lifetime experiences that have transformed my life and writing acumen. The loving energy, heightened awareness of POC creative magic, and sense of connection experienced at my first VONA will sustain me for awhile and ripple out in all my work.”
