Girls Write Now

Girls Write Now is a nationally award-winning writing and mentoring nonprofit, media incubator, and multi-generational community of writers and leaders. We harness the power of stories to shape culture, impact industries, and bridge divides. Be a part of the action by becoming a Mentor and/or by spreading the word to your friends, family, and colleagues. Mentors are professionals (do not have to be a published author) residing in the US, ages 25+, and Mentees are ages 14-24, residing in the US. If you do not reside in the US, please consider becoming a member so you can access events and opportunities.

• Networking with Girls Write Now’s talented, multigenerational community
• Connecting with peers in unique community experiences
• Accessing a wide selection of professional development as well as creative and professional skill building
