Write on 4th is a community writing center serving youth and adults as part of the 4th&4th Foundation. Our mission is to provide equitable and accessible opportunities for Tucsonans to engage in, have fun with, and grow from self-expression through writing.

We know that most writing is ultimately an individual endeavor, but we are excited to fuel the freedom, the fun, and the power of writing through this supportive and welcoming center.

Meet the Team


  • Community Engagement

    Julie Reed is our Write on 4th community engagement aficionado. She has been an academic advisor for over two decades at U of A and loves working with students of all ages. The creator of two local blogs, TucsonMama and TucsonInStyle, Julie has also written for women’s health, fashion, music, and medical publications. She earned her MFA in creative writing from U of A and has taught at the University and at Pima. Perhaps overly competitive at word games, she is excited to play with language in all sorts of ways with her fellow Tucsonans.

  • Alicia Saposnik is the director of the Write on 4th writing center and is excited to be part of 4th&4th’s mission of accessible opportunities for Tucsonans to meet, discuss, and create. She looks forward to Write on 4th providing youth and adults with opportunities to write, think, discuss, and maybe even try something new.
