Communal Pen

In partnership with the SC Arts Commission, the Athenaeum Press is partnering on expanding the Communal Pen community writing workshops. This initiative showcases short stories to explore the dynamic and ever-changing state of South Carolina. We create space for, amplify, and connect unheard voices through writing workshops, curated publications, and a digital platform.

The Press is facilitating virtual and in-person writing workshops throughout 2023-24, and we have a survey for interested individuals to share their experiences and feedback as we expand models and publishing options for these stories.

 

Survey

If you are interested in writing workshops or have participated in Communal Pen, please fill out this survey to help us plan future workshops and publications.
