Welcome to our new HYV Publishing sector! Our digital home for the writing of our multiracial and multigenerational network. This is a resource for our folks to have the publishing opportunity to share our many stories, in the many creative ways that we are verbally capable. We believe that the presence of a publishing sector can provide a place where Black & Brown folks can write and share their stories in a manner that is as rigorously recognized as deserved, with an audience who can pick up what we put down; for us, by us.
Find our monthly published pieces of creative non-fiction, fiction, poetry, essays, and testimonial works below. To stay posted on every new submission subscribe to our newsletter, and to submit a piece click here.
For any questions please contact genesis@hearingyouthvoices.com!
