    Did you catch the 95th Academy Awards ceremony on March 12th? There were some amazing moments! Who wasn’t crying during Ke Huy Quan’s acceptance speech?

    An Imprecise List of Essay Possibilities

    by Kate Devine
    For as long as I can remember, I’ve attempted to make sense of my life by arranging words on a page. Sometimes, a poem appears. Other times, it’s a longer, narrative piece. But where I especially like to dwell is the space between poem and essay, or what is called the lyric essay, or an alternative form.

    Captivated by Love

    Our Writers Reveal Their Favorite Love Story
    Valentine’s Day has come and gone but we at Project Write Now believe the whole month of February should embrace the theme of love. Love has the power to inspire, heal, and bring people together, and it’s a feeling worth celebrating. We love. This month, we asked our writers to share their favorite stories about love. Whether it’s their own romance or a favorite TV series or book about love, we asked them to share the love stories that captivate them. Here are their responses …

  • Memorable Birds in Books

    by Alyson Mosquera Dutemple
    In honor of the 26th annual Great Backyard Bird Count taking place from February 17 to February 20 this year, we here at Project Write Now are celebrating birds in books. From Poe’s infamous raven to Donna Tartt’s stolen goldfinch painting, birds have long captivated poets, novelists, children’s book writers, and essayists. Here’s a list of some memorable avian characters in poetry, fiction, and memoir you can check out the next time you’re in need of feathery inspiration.

    Our Team Reveals How They Get and Stay Cozy in the Winter
    Ah, winter is here with its colder temps and shorter days. For us writers, it means we have an excuse to snuggle up on our couch with a blanket and a book or our laptop. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? We asked our Team members what are some of the ways they get cozy during the winter months. Here’s what they said:

  • 2022 Reflections

    Happy 2023! Instead of creating a list of resolutions or setting new goals, we at Project Write Now thought it would be nice to take a moment to look back.
    So much happened in 2022 that we are so grateful for. We not only expanded our team and expanded our reach outside of New Jersey (and even the United States), but we also were able to get back in person with workshops and events in our local community.
    No matter where we were or whom we connected with, one thing remained the same: our commitment to build communities of hope and empathy through storytelling.
