KOREAN WRITERS LAB (KWL)
KWL is designed for writers and generative artists who identify as members of the Korean diaspora. While the program provides a communal and artistic space for Korean diasporic writers, it is broadly open and supportive of all styles, themes, and content. All KWL members will be selected annually, and receive support during a four-month period where they will share new work in progress.
