Writers by the Lake was founded by several incarcerated individuals at Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Conneaut, Ohio. Halle Neiderman and Christopher Dum began working with the group in the summer of 2016. In fall of 2016, NEOMFA (Northeast Ohio Masters of Fine Arts) students Bronte Billings and Sony Ton-Aime joined the project and helped to create the ID13 identity and our first chapbook. To date, ID13 has worked with Writers by the Lake to produce four chapbooks and share dozens of creative works by writers with the public through our website and Facebook page.
