Writing support for people, programs, and organizations laboring for justice.
Meet Tricia.
Hi. I’m Tricia Way. I launched UnderWriting Justice in 2020, with the desire to offer my skills as a published author, editor, grant writer, and curriculum developer to those working for a more just world.
I have taught in higher education and prison institutions for over two decades, covering topics that range from gender and racial justice to critical criminal justice, restorative justice, wrongful convictions, and prison abolition.
To me, justice does not mean punishment; it means “right relationship.” It means honoring our interconnectedness, building community, healing harm with dignity and accountability, dismantling systems of oppression, caring for our planet, and building a more loving world together.
If you are an educator, scholar, artist, activist, practitioner, and/or community leader laboring for justice, I would love to work with you and support your writing project, whatever it is! Please contact me by filling out the form below.
Work with me.
Support for Writers
-
I offer one-on-one online sessions to help you accomplish what you already know how to do: write your book, article, grant proposal, newsletter, or any other writing project. I listen and help you organize your thoughts, establish workable deadlines, and cultivate your writing momentum.
-
I hold online co-working sessions for small groups, offering you a space to share your writing goals, write in silence and in the company of other writers, and be accountable to your goals.
-
I offer time away and reflective space to write without everyday distractions and in community with other writers. See below for information about the June 2026 retreat.
Support for Writing
-
I offer “big picture” editorial feedback on the argument, evidence, structure, and style of your draft writing project (e.g. book manuscript, article, grant proposal, newsletter, copywriting etc.).
-
I offer expertise in the areas of criminal justice, prison abolition, restorative and transformative justice, and systemic oppressions, providing substantive feedback on the content of your draft writing project (e.g. book manuscript, article, grant proposal, newsletter, copywriting, etc.)
-
I write and edit grant proposals and reports that reflect the unique work and accomplishments of your organization and meet the specifications of prospective funders.
-
I write curricula and offer instructional design for undergraduate and graduate courses in justice-related content as well as public workshops for community building and raising awareness.
Space to Think. Time to Write.
An intentional writing community for those working toward a more just world.
Get in touch.
