VOICES: Barbados Writers’ Collective

VOICES: Barbados Writers’ Collective (my literary home) emerged out of a group of Barbadian writers sharing their work at a little cafe in Dalkeith Road, to celebrate Barbados’ anniversary of Independence. It became one of the 1st forums where writers were paid to be featured.

Founder (the right irie) Nailah Folami Imoja was the 1st Co-ordinator and the “talking stick” was passed down and down and down to our present day VOICES Co-ordinator: Debbie Callender.

Looking for encouragement, open mic (refreshments!) and an avenue for growth?

Meetings are held the last Friday of every month at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society at 7:30 p.m. Visiting writers and those who appreciate literature of all kinds are welcomed.

Entrance fee: Donations

You can confirm the readings schedule and meet Bajan writers online
