Whether someone finds our work online or in the pages of a book, frequently the first interaction they have with it is through visual representation. Join us for a discussion about the ways we can use color and design to represent our work. We’ll talk about the implicit bias in color theory, dream of visual representations for our own work, and collaborate on images to represent work created by the Girls Write Now community.
We need stories to heal, to express our truths, and to enact change - but how does the need for activism in our stories impact our creativity? Gen Z writers have been told that their words are going to save the rest of us, and many of them are rising to that challenge, but they're also feeling the pressure. Let's talk about it!
In this Intersectional Voices in Editorial - Print Studio (IV Edit - Print), we will explore the publishing process from all angles, including editing, promotion, and bringing more voices to the page.

Get excited for our first meeting this cycle where we’ll go Beyond the Binary, Again to see Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging far beyond the narrow confines.
