Description
Writers of Color is an online free directory that aims to create more visibility for writers of color and help them get new career opportunities.
The community provides an easily manageable platform for both writers and editors to list their work and find new job offers. Additionally, Writers of Color accepts volunteers and other people who want to lend a hand.
Although there isn't a job board inside the community, if you are hiring, you can post on Twitter, and Writers of Color will retweet you. For this, the community has a Twitter list. It works for this purpose and also to keep track of important community news and updates.
On the other hand, in the "Writers" section, you can find a directory of all current members of the community. Each profile has the writer's name, links to their work, the topics he/she focuses on, and contact information. You can filter your search by topic, location, or any keywords. This directory is useful not only to find people if you are hiring but also to connect with like-minded peers.
If you want to join the Writers of Color directory, you need to submit an application form. You will be asked for your personal information and the topics you specialize in.
