East Austin Writing Project

The East Austin Writing Project supports emerging and established writers and poets. We began in 2018 as a small monthly writing group led by an East Austin resident and friend. When he moved away, Marissa led the writing group, and in 2019, she founded the East Austin Writing Project community focused on the literary arts.

We are a volunteer team of four teaching artists who organize, design and facilitate free and affordable literary art events. In 2025, we partnered with Alienated Majesty Books and launched a small press book club featuring work by experimental and transgressive writers.
