It’s normal to experience tough emotions, and everyone can benefit from writing about distressing and joyful experiences.
YpsiWrites supports writers in the Ypsilanti community through writing-focused workshops, events, resources, and activities. We also offer personalized writing support for anyone looking to discuss professional or creative work.
YpsiWrites believes everyone is a writer and everyone’s writing matters. We strive to make all people in our community feel welcomed, empowered, and supported at every stage of their writing journey.
Our mission is built upon four core pillars:
Looking for one-to-one writing support? Meet with one of our trained volunteers, who are passionate writers and here to help you elevate your writing projects. We're happy to discuss, provide feedback, help brainstorm through a writer's block, and even help with formatting questions.
Looking to attend a writing workshop or get involved in an interactive writing activity? We partner with other organizations and individuals to host writing workshops, programs, and events that inspire creativity and community.
Our resources help writers of any age or level explore writing individually or in a group. Visit our resources page for engaging materials, tips, and prompts that will keep you writing. Explore our spotlight resources below.
Our work is possible with the generous support of our donors, partners, and sponsors. Interested in supporting our work? Visit this link to learn more.
