National Latinx Writers Gathering: A Virtual Event for Latinx Writers in all Genres
The second National Latinx Writers Gathering (NLWG) will take place October 14-17, 2021. It is open to any Latinx writer working in any genre. All events for the NLWG will be virtual.
For more information, check out the National Latinx Writers Gathering website.
The first-ever National Latinx Writers Gathering, “Sembrando y Soñando,” took place October 16-18, 2020. As a result of the new coronavirus, all weekend events were virtual. The first year of this unprecedented convening of Latinx writers emphasized community-building, connection, and experiential collaboration–determined by a national survey of Latinx writers who expressed what they want from a first conference of this kind. The first event will also determine the shape and content of annual Latinx convenings in the future–an undertaking we will co-create together.
The 2021 NLWG will take place October 14-17, 2021. Mark your calendars!
