What We Do

Working at the intersection of art, healing, and action with the goal of changing hearts, minds, and policies, Herstory Writers Network designs and delivers in-person and online memoir writing workshops and facilitator training to a wide range of people in a vast array of settings. Our school, carceral justice, and community programs, along with our workshop facilitator training, internship opportunities, and public events form the core of what we do.

​

We offer workshops and facilitator training in a variety of accessible formats, while remaining committed to our signature pedagogy. Whether working with women in a county jail, second graders in an underserved school, court-involved young people at a law school, Spanish speakers online, or with countless other groups and communities, Herstory tailors its workshops to meet the needs of participants and partner organizations.
