The Jack Straw Writers Program, now in its 21st year, was created to introduce local writers to the medium of recorded audio, encourage the creation of new literary work and provide new venues for writers and their work. Each year, a curator selects 12 writers from dozens of applicants to create a cohesive group of writers based on artistic excellence and diversity of literary genres.
