Write Around the World

Write Around the World 2023 logo - world circled by pen on white background

In February, we bring writers across the globe together to write in the AWA Method.

AWA-certified facilitators help AWA to raise funds (click here to learn more about volunteering) by offering donation-based writing groups. Proceeds from each session support AWA and its mission. New writers experience the AWA Method and celebrate the unique creativity in each other’s voices.

The calendar of Write Around the World (WAW) events will be live soon, please check back here in January or sign up for our mailing list to learn when you can register for sessions!

Payment Options

Most groups meet online between February 1st and 28th, with open registration, sliding scale from $20-40. A few affinity groups, with registration open only to members of a specific community—for example, teens or LGBTQ+ people—will also be on the calendar.

To help you take advantage of our packed schedule of writing sessions, we have a bulk discount: $15 each if you purchase 5, or $14 each for a batch of 10.

We also offer a pay-it-forward ticket, which allows for a writer with financial need to participate. Want to give a ticket to a writer or writing-curious loved one? We think it’s fantastic to invite a friend or family member to join you in WAW group, so we made it easy to gift a session!

If cost is a barrier, please reach out to see if we can discount or waive your donation.
