We are excited to announce the second-year participants of the Changemaker Authors Cohort. Each cohort member is a movement activist and social justice practitioner. Each is also a writer with a paradigm-shifting story to share; a story that we believe can shape how others feel into, think through, and respond to various social issues affecting us across the globe.

Alongside our partners at Unicorn Authors Club, participants will engage in intensive coaching and creative support over the course of the cohort year. This program provides space and guidance for these changemaker-authors to meet their goals by completing their project for the next phase including submission to agents and/or publishers. Learn more about this year's participants below and learn more about the program here.
