LAUNCH CREATIVE NW

There has never been a more critical time to develop one’s creative voice. But if you have a full-time job or a family, a disability, or a life that channels your passions elsewhere, maintaining a creative practice can be challenging. Finishing a creative project and putting yourself out there, whatever that looks like to you, can be even tougher, the prospect overwhelming.

LAUNCH CREATIVE NW will help identify your creative goals and provide the guidance and tools necessary to achieve them. Whether you have a project in mind already or not, whether you're looking to create a sense of permission around your creativity within your sphere or immediate family, want help making meaningful creative work a constant practice in your life, or want to build the necessary production skills to get your work seen and heard, LAUNCH CREATIVE NW will help you get there. We got this.

LAUNCH CREATIVE NW is the work of STACY BREWSTER, a queer author, poet, and screenwriter based in Portland, Oregon with over 20 years of professional experience in film and television production, advertising, publishing, politics and public service. He is the author of the short story collection WHAT WE PICK UP (Buckman, 2021) and a recipient of the 2019 Oregon Literary Fellowship in Drama. Stacy's short fiction and poetry have appeared in New South, The Madison Review, Plenitude Magazine, and The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide among numerous others. He is currently at work on feature film.

Since 2008 Stacy has facilitated workshops for Write Around Portland, a non-profit that provides free 10-week writing workshops to those who would not otherwise have access to writing in community with others due to income, isolation, disability or other barriers. He co-founded the Full Frontal Writing Collective in Portland, Oregon in 2011 and for the last decade has worked, trained, facilitated, or volunteered with social justice causes, the LGBTQ+ community, and the literary world in the Pacific Northwest, including Basic Rights Oregon, the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative at Oregon Health & Science University, Bitch Media, The Portland Review, Wordstock (now the Portland Book Festival) and Oregon Humanities.
​
As its core mission, LAUNCH CREATIVE NW is designed to help you prepare, map and schedule your creative practice and your project big or small; provide constructive feedback, editorial guidance, and regular support; and ultimately organize and build your creative life to sustain your work ongoing.

Stacy is particularly interested in amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, particularly queer voices, those living with disability, immigrant communities, and communities of color.
