Request For Proposals
The Mosaic Literary Conference provides a platform for literature-based creative thinking and knowledge sharing. Each year we invite educators, arts & community organizations, and parents to participate. MLC is presented by The Literary Freedom Project, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt not-for-profit arts organization that supports the literary arts through education, creative thinking, and new media.

MLC invites proposals for workshops focused on the literary arts, literacy, and reading comprehension, and how educators and parents can incorporate these subjects to increase the adoption of reading as a tool for understanding of culture, history, and social studies.

Coinciding with the 85th anniversary of his birth and 45th anniversary of the release of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, our secondary focus is on the life of Malcolm X. Submissions focused on teaching his autobiography, life, and legacy are encouraged (but will not be given preference).
