We are proud to announce the first issue of Latinas Write/Escriben, the first bilingual literary magazine to feature memoir writing by Latinas in Suffolk County, which will be published semi-annually.  This is the debut publication of Herstory Writers Workshop’s special project series. 

Since September 2004 Sandra Dunn has been facilitating the Herstory Latina workshop in East Hampton, and in May 2005 she began interpreting for the bilingual workshop in Farmingville.  In her introduction to Latinas Write/Escriben, she writes: “Herstory workshops for me are a necessary pleasure.  As a participant, I revel in the stories of my fellow writers, allowing their words to caress my heart and mind, to seduce me into wanting more, to move me to tears by their beauty.  As a facilitator, I experience these same pleasures from words that are written and read in the unique and exquisite rhythms of countries as diverse as Argentina, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru.”

Sandra invites the magazine’s readers to “turn the pages and land in a Mexican jail, a Guatemalan earthquake, a filthy bathroom in an opulent mansion in the Hamptons, an alienating kindergarten classroom, and a picturesque Mexican village….No matter where we are on this globe, we are connected.  The panoramas, players, and plots may be different, but the emotions that unite us are infinite and know neither borders nor nationalities.”

The publication of the first issue of Latinas Write/Escriben is made possible through a grant from the J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation administered by Huntington Arts Council and through additional funding from the Town of East Hampton and Bridgehampton National Bank.  The first 300 copies were printed courtesy of the Citibank Community Relations Group for Long Island. 

If you would like to order a copy through this website, send a check for $10 to cover postage, handling and printing costs.  Any extra contribution toward printing would be greatly appreciated, so that the magazines can be distributed to more women in the Spanish-speaking community.
