Rewrite The Narrative
About Us
REWRITE is a thriving global community empowering Black women and women of colour writers to achieve their writing goals.
Born out of a shared desire for representation and support, we began as a small Meetup group in London in 2018. Founder Christina, frustrated by the lack of a welcoming space for Black women and women of colour writers, created a community where we could connect, inspire, and grow together.
Today, REWRITE offers a comprehensive range of resources including mentorship, writing courses, retreats, and a supportive membership platform. Our members have achieved remarkable milestones: from securing literary agents to publishing critically acclaimed works. But more importantly, they’ve found a lifelong community.
Welcome to the REWRITE family!
