Writers Without Borders
ABOUT US
Sin Fronteras/Writers Without Borders is a non-profit literary arts organization in Las Cruces, New Mexico,
that publishes an annual anthology, (Sin Fronteras Journal), serves as a publisher, (Sin Fronteras Press), and
as a sponsor of local readings. We are devoted to encouraging both established and emerging writers, developing
audiences for these writers, giving voice to those whose voice may not be heard, and having fun at the same time.
MONTHLY READINGS
Sin Fronteras sponsors monthly readings, beginning at 7:30 p.m., on the second Thursday of each month at The Bean
Coffeehouse, 2001 Avenida de Mesilla, and on the third Tuesday of each month at Palacio's Bar, 2600 Avenida
de Mesilla. (During summer, we meet in the large, enclosed patio; During winter, we meet in the back room).
SPECIAL READINGS
In cooperation with the Thomas Branigan Library, and Friends of the Branigan Library, we co-sponsor a bi-monthly
reading on the first Sunday of the month at 3:00 p.m. in the Dresp Room of the library, and feature a local writer
with an out-of-towner. The library is located at 200 E. Picacho Avenue. Readings are scheduled during October,
December, February, and April.
