Macondo Writers Workshop

The Macondo Writers Workshop is a renowned creative writing program founded by author Sandra Cisneros in 1995. It is designed to support and nurture emerging writers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, such as Latino and minority communities. Named after the fictional town in Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," the workshop provides participants with mentorship, guidance, and the opportunity to refine their craft through intensive sessions. It fosters a sense of community among writers, encouraging diverse voices in literature and celebrating cultural identity through storytelling.
