BreakBread Literacy Project is a space for young creatives to take root and grow. We seek to empower and honor the voices of all young artists through four initiatives:

  • BreakBread Magazine: groundbreaking new work in arts and letters from young creatives under the age of 25

  • BreakBread Reading Series: community reading events for young and established voices in literature

  • BreakBread Creative Classroom: a pop-up creative education program that brings creative writing workshops to local schools, libraries, youth centers and community venues.

  • BreakBread Literary Apprentice Program: We offer competitive, high-quality internships in publishing to promising writers who lack access to the traditional literary world. By cultivating the next generation of young editors, we seek to change the face of publishing.


Literary Apprentices (LAs) work alongside the editorial staff to produce each issue of BreakBread Magazine. LAs learn how to read and select work for publication, and participate in a consensus-model decision process. LAs participate in creative writing workshops to develop their own skills as burgeoning young writers.
