Support WITS

Writers in the Schools engages students in the pleasure and power of reading and writing. The program was created in 1983 to utilize the talent of the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program for improving the value of our public school education. Today, WITS serves as our state’s largest literary arts organization. WITS brings skilled novelists, poets, playwrights, and essayists into classrooms and communities throughout Houston, where they teach creative writing to 18,000 children of all ages and backgrounds. WITS writers also work with young people in museums, hospitals, public parks, libraries, shelters, and community centers.
