RAWI is entirely volunteer-run.
We’re so close to being able to offer our most-requested initiative: a mentorship for emerging writers. Mentorship helps SWANA writers negotiate discriminatory barriers that silence our community and reinforce historical systems of privilege. Please give today to help usher new, vital voices into the literary landscape.
