Welcome to WOMEN READING ALOUD – an organization dedicated to the power of the writer’s voice. WRA believes in providing space for artistic growth. Founded in 2003, it offers writing workshops, conferences, and retreats where women writers can explore their “authentic” voices. Many programs take place in private homes to create the intimacy reminiscent of literary salon readings. Founded on the 3-in-1 principle, WOMEN READING ALOUD focuses on the equal value of the writer, the reader, and the listener. All genres are welcome. WRA encourages writers to cherish their own voices, as well as the voices of others, as they travel the writer’s journey.
