Unbound Pages
A book club that empowers volunteers to read, critique, and amplify the voices of incarcerated writers.
Feedback that frees
Unbound Pages is a unique book club that connects passionate volunteers with incarcerated writers in the Writers Guild programs. Together, through Crime & Compassion and Second Story Books, we read and provide thoughtful feedback to these students’ short stories and novels.
How it works
Read: Short stories and novels are sent to volunteers.
Meet: Volunteers gather weekly at Second Story Books in Oklahoma City to read and discuss our students’ stories.
Empower: Feedback is sent to our students via a checklist so they can feel encouraged and motivated to hone their craft.
