The goal of the Community Writing Project was “to provide a forum for creative expression in which people can share their experiences, examine their lives, and become recognized within their communities as writers and leaders.” Triller examined how the Community Writing Project encouraged its participants to develop stories through writing. She sought to advise the Project on best practices as the organization encourages the presence of writing and civic engagement in all Chicago neighborhoods.
