ESCRIBE AQUÍ: Escribe Aquí is an annual festival that honors the diversity of writing in various languages by hosting authors across cultures and languages for events and residency in The Writer’s Room. They convene to salute their own diversity; thereby transcending the notions of a dominant society that mistakenly perceives them as having ‘one’ voice. This program is funded by The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Learn more and see images from last year's Festival HERE.

Festival partners include Suburbano, Miami Book Fair, Koubek Center, Sudaqui, Books & Books, Knight Foundation, PG Family Foundation, Miami Dade College, Florida International University, University of Miami, and The Betsy Community Fund.
