The Windows Project, originating in 1976, serves as a beacon of literary empowerment, founded by poets and writers to introduce marginalized groups to the transformative power of language. Achieving official charity status in 1981, the project has since amassed over four decades of invaluable experience in community engagement and creative enrichment. Guided by seasoned writers with extensive expertise, our workshops employ innovative, game-based approaches to foster creativity and self-expression in diverse settings across the Liverpool City Region.
Our commitment to nurturing emerging talent extends beyond workshops. The Writing Advice Desk, a cornerstone of our support system, provides aspiring scriptwriters, storytellers, poets, and more with free professional guidance. Through personalized consultations and tailored feedback, we empower writers across Merseyside to hone their craft and navigate the intricacies of the literary landscape.
Central to our ethos is the amplification of marginalized voices. We ensure that the creative expressions of the communities we serve are not only heard but celebrated. By publishing their work in booklet form, we provide a platform for individuals whose narratives have been historically marginalized. Additionally, our long-standing small press poetry magazine, Smoke, serves as a conduit for artistic expression, showcasing diverse perspectives and promoting inclusivity within the literary sphere.
As we continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of our community, our commitment to fostering creativity and championing marginalized voices remains unwavering. Through collaborative partnerships and grassroots initiatives, we strive to break down barriers to access and create a more equitable and inclusive literary landscape. Join us in our mission to harness the power of language as a catalyst for change, transforming lives one word at a time.
