‘Invitation to Joy’ takes the reader on a journey filled with joy, grief, betrayal, forgiveness, trauma, self-liberation, friendship, and our relative privileges within color, gender, wealth, language, and citizenship. Essays, poetry, and short stories fill these pages offering a diverse experience from the AWL Community. 

Founded in 2019, by Andrea Canaan, A Writer’s Life teaches and models intergenerational craft development. Our community is multicultural, multiethnic, and cross-generational, and serves people of all abilities. We write individually and in community, in person and online.

One more way to find, feel, and be YAY, Your Authentic You, is writing in community where your Invitation to Joy is always open!
