Write for one week. Share the gift of voice for a lifetime.Whether you’re a published writer or have never written a haiku, join InsideOut the week of August 16th for our virtual Write-A-Thon!
Commit to a writing goal every day for one week — a poem, a letter to your legislators, a postcard, anything you can imagine! — and then ask for your community’s support. All proceeds from your Write-A-Thon benefit InsideOut’s transformative creative writing programs that launch Metro Detroit students off the page and into extraordinary lives.
You can support the Write-A-Thon in a number of ways:
1) Creating a fundraiser
2) Making a tax-deductible gift to support a writer
3) Simply make your gift on the Write-A-Thon page and help us meet our goal

Detroit 48202: Conversations Along A Postal Route -Chase Branch
March 7th, 2:00 pm - March 7th, 4:00 pm
Chase Branch - Detroit Public Library
For this screening we will be taking an interactive approach by working with InsideOut Literary Arts! Detroit 48202 is a documentary following a mailman's route in a Detroit neighborhood, and the changes that he has seen over the past 30 years. After showing clips of the documentary, two artists from InsideOut will lead a writing workshop for attendees. The artists will then perform a small collection of their own poems to close out the event.
This is a great event for those who are being introduced to the film and who have already seen it!
