The Indiana Writers Center values a diverse and inclusive culture that represents all aspects of the community, without regard to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, religion or socio-economic status. It defines who we are. We are committed to providing writing programs in a vibrant, creative environment which encourages, supports, empowers and celebrates voices in all of their sounds, colors and shapes. By embracing these myriad ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds, we fulfill our mission of amplifying voices rarely heard through the written word.

We are committed to this pledge in all that we do —including programming, recruiting staff and volunteers, and selecting project partners. By embracing and valuing the unique qualities of all people, Indiana Writers Center strives to deliver programs and build networks that will model the kind of just society that values each and every voice.
