All Ways Writing Collective serves the creative writing community of Nyack, New York, the lower Hudson Valley, and beyond. Our mission is to support and encourage literary artists through weekly writers circles, readings, open mics, and workshops. The collective takes its name from the Hudson River, which means “river that runs both ways,” indicating the range of support All Ways offers to writers, from generation to development to presentation of work. Organized by Nyack-local poet Lily Greenberg, our activities are low-cost and open to the public, and we welcome writers of all ages, professions, racial backgrounds, and gender/sexual orientations.
The collective began in May 2022 as a series of writing circles and readings hosted at the Carson McCullers House of Nyack organized by Lily Greenberg and Anupama Amaran, building off of previously active writing organization River River Writers Circle. Our popular writing circles grew quickly, and our membership expanded as local writers found our activities aligned with their interests, which led us to grow beyond the McCullers House.
We have thus far partnered with the Carson McCullers House, Nyack Library, Big Red Books, and Main Street Coworking—and we’re eager for further collaborations! To learn more about our current offerings or inquire about partnerships, use our contact form.
