This month, we'll learn about writing memoir and consider how memoir is a way to learn about ourselves. Attendees will be able to practice their memoir writing skills through personal exploration.
This month, we'll be using history, newspapers and archival material to generate writing prompts!
In this final fall studio, we'll pair accountability partners, practice interview skills, and hear from a mentee on building her network and learning from interviews. Everyone will share their progress. No prior attendance needed, and mentors are welcome.
In this studio, we explore creative writing and art-making that reflects on the relationship between humans and native plants and encourage participants to turn their creative process into environmental advocacy projects.

The Mentor Support Group/Think Tank is a space for mentors to meet up and talk about their GWN experience — the pluses and minuses. This studio functions like a support group and a think tank, in which we exchange ideas on engaging our mentee, as well as discussing solutions for issues and sharing resources.
This month, we'll discuss editing for voice, including what "close POV" means and how to achieve it in 1st and 3rd person. We’ll also do editing exercises to explore ways to make our narrators' voices more specific.
Join us for the kick-off Anthology Committee meeting as we gather to talk about Girls Write Now’s 2025 Anthology and share our hopes and dreams. Who should write the Foreword and who should provide a blurb? What goes into making this meaningful book? You’ll learn about the publishing process and meet the mentors and mentees who will be editing the anthology.
This month, we’ll use photographic imagery of trees and symbolism to explore self-image. A poem by Donald Adamson, “Damaged,” will guide us in reflecting on our worldview and our stance of acceptance or non-acceptance in our life journeys.
