The Muslim Writers Collective is a grassroots initiative dedicated to promoting storytelling in the Muslim American community. We've been featured in Vice, the Guardian, Buzzfeed, the Daily Beast, and more.Our signature event, a monthly open mic, has been running since January 2014, drawing thousands of attendees and hundreds of first time performers - poets, journalists, comedians, musicians. We've launched in nearly a dozen cities across America and Canada - in February 2016 we planned events in eight cities, and crossed the 20,000 follower mark on Facebook. We run workshops and partner with local organizations and publications to support our community.
