Breakbread Literacy Project

BreakBread is a youth literacy project dedicated to cultivating creatives under the age of 25. We seek to provide a place where young creatives’ work can take root and grow, introducing youth to the world of literature and publishing as a means of self-expression and vocational development. Our Literary Apprentice program develops young creatives—especially those who lack access to traditional publishing internships and writing opportunities—into pre-professional, college-ready editors, writers, and team members. BreakBread Literary Magazine could not achieve its mission to amplify the voices of young creatives without young creatives’ input in the work we do. Literary Apprentices (LAs) will work alongside the magazine’s editorial staff to produce each issue. LAs will also have the opportunity to participate in generative workshops with visiting artists and staff-lead peer workshops to develop their own skills as burgeoning young writers.

BreakBread Creative Classroom offers free, online creative writing workshops for young creatives. Our generative writing workshops, taught by a terrific roster of established, Visiting Writers, are open to yong writers age 13-19. BreakBread also hosts "open studio workshops" where young writers can talk 1:1 with our editors about work-in-progress. All welcome!
