The NWC

Ready To Get Creative?
Founded in 2008, The Nebraska Writers Collective  is an Omaha-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting creativity, literary awareness, poetry, and performance poetry throughout the Midwest.

The NWC is an outgrowth of Nebraska’s thriving slam poetry scene, driven by the same core belief that poetry’s reputation for being dense and boring must be shattered by making poetry vibrant and accessible to everyone. Our mission is to rescue poetry from the Ivory Tower and let it run barefoot through the grassy fields. We pursue this goal through writing workshops, by bringing nationally-known performance poets to Nebraska, and by working with other organizations to provide a variety of literary outreach programs.

You Can Make a Difference
We always seek new projects, eager volunteers, and generous donors to help make literary creativity accessible to everyone.  Please contact us if you have any questions or want to participate. We look forward to hearing from you!
