The Matrix Collective

Workshop

WHEN Monday, March 9, 2026
WHERE 19 Washington Square North WHO 19 Washington Square North By Invitation Interested scholars please contact 19wsn.programs@nyu.edu

Disrupting the mythology of the solitary poet, this group of women — diverse in age, race, sexuality, and geography — formed a writing collective to sustain creativity and literary careers through risk-taking, vulnerability, and love. Since the early days of the pandemic, The Matrix has met each week over Zoom, gradually incorporating in-person retreats and readings into their activities. These writers support one another at every stage of the writing process, from generation, to revision, to publication, and celebration.

Organized by
  • Marion Wrenn, Executive Director of Writing and Senior Lecturer of Writing and Literature and Creative Writing, NYU Abu Dhabi
