In October 2019, Eastern Michigan University Office of Campus and Community Writing, Ypsilanti District Library, and 826 Michigan came together to found YpsiWrites, a writing-focused non-profit serving the Ypsilanti area. We believe that everyone is a writer and writing matters. Motivated by this core belief, YpsiWrites promotes and supports writers of all ages and skill levels in our community.
In its inaugural year, YpsiWrites was heavily focused on building support and community for writers in the area through in-person workshops and one-on-one writing consultations. The work has grown virtually and in-person to include writing workshops that span across styles and genres, larger-scale partner programming and events, expanded volunteer teams of people who create valuable writing resources for the community, and approachable and easily accessible writing consultation offerings to help as many writers as possible sharpen their skills.
YpsiWrites is built of people who are passionate writers and community writers who believe writing is better together.
We encourage you to visit YpsiWrites to learn more.
