Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not from Boston or New England, can I still attend events and join the group?

Do I need to be published to join?

As an ally of the BIPOC community, can I still share resources with the group?
- Yes! If you do not identify as a writer of color, we encourage you to be a support and resource to BIPOC writers by sharing opportunities, events, and amplifying their work. Please, however, refrain from requesting cultural research, promoting your publications, and posting unsolicited advice.
