The Virginia Community Writing Collaborative

Profiles

decorative

Profiles are authored either by the individuals themselves through Q&A style interviews, or were written by us at the Virginia Community Writing Collaborative. This is our community of community writers, those who teach us about community engagement. Our goal is to share the various projects, scholarship, and means of engagement and problem solving that are possible.

We are constantly on the lookout for new profiles, as this page is growing! If there is someone you know who might be profiled, or if you have a profile of your own that we could include, please get in touch with us! Email us at VACommunityWriting@gmail.com! We are especially thankful to those who agreed to interview with us during busy semesters!
