The Inland Empire Collective
the inland empire collective is a non-profit media community for young local writers to create and get paid for it – in their hometown. through sponsorship and promotions we will be able to fund writers per story, offer scholarships and writing classes but, most importantly, provide a space for community to both readers and writers to connect.
