Play on Words Inc

Play On Words Inc. is transforming how writing is experienced for Louisville's most underappreciated communities. We create the space to spark the idea and help writers explore and craft written projects that amplify often underheard voices. 

How do we do that? All of Play On Words programming consists of high-energy, joyous workshops that target participants interests and incorporate literary components to build on skill sets. We partner local writers, authors and facilitators in amazing and often deemed inaccessible spaces, to engage participants through guided writing prompts, games and storytelling techniques.

We also host one-on-one resume workshops as we believe resumes are the written story of an individual's career journey. These one-on-one sessions are often relationship-building focused, and participants leave with a complete resume ready for use. 

Play On Words seeks to stay relevant by evolving with the needs of the community, bringing fresh ideas to tenured community spaces to spark refreshing experiences and host community events, such as Black Paperback, that feel innovative, inclusive and immersive. We believe learning and fun should work hand in hand. By combining play with meaningful learning experiences, participants build confidence, learn to trust themselves, explore the world around them, and discover the power of their own voices.
