Inprint

A nonprofit organization founded in 1983, the mission of Inprint is to inspire readers and writers in Houston. Inprint has helped to transform Houston into a diverse and thriving literary metropolis where creativity is celebrated and Houstonians come together to engage with the written word. Through the Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series and the Inprint Cool Brains! Reading Series, thousands of individuals of all ages meet and hear from the world's most accomplished writers and thinkers. The Inprint Writers Workshops, Teachers-as-Writers Workshops, Senior Memoir Workshops, Life Writing Workshops for healthcare providers, the Inprint Incarcerated Workshops, and Inprint Veterans Workshops help individuals of all backgrounds to become better writers and share their stories. The Inprint Poetry Buskers, with typewriters in hand, demystify and increase appreciation for poetry in communities throughout the city. Ink Well, a podcast presented by Tintero Projects and Inprint, showcases emerging and established Latinx writers. Inprint's support since 1983 for the nation's top emerging writers at the University of Houston Creative Writing Program—more than $4 million in fellowships, prizes, and employment—has enabled more than 500 graduates to impact their communities and the nation through writing, teaching, and more.
