mentee and mentee alum
At our first Editorial Forum of the program year, we'll discuss the themes and ideas that Girls Write Now has been writing about for the past 25 years and look to the future to think about the ideas we want to represent with our work moving forward.
At our first Editorial Workshop, current mentees will read through and select a piece written by a former mentee from the past 25 years. We will discuss all the ways that a writer can respond to an existing work: fanfiction, sequels, essays, art, and more! Come explore the ways you can bring your own perspective and collaborate from mentees past!
In this workshop, Mentees and Mentee alum will unlock their confidence, discover professional best practices, and learn to leverage their already existing network of family, friends, teachers, and of course each other. After engaging in a brief networking lesson, Mentees will partake in a “mock” Girls Write Now industry mixer, so we invite all participants to show up ready to mingle! Prior to the session’s close, mentees will have the opportunity to apply their new networking savvy by committing to connect with at least one other mentee in attendance and drafting a follow up message!
At our first Writing 360 workshop, mentees and mentors will delve into true crime as a subject, with the specific aim of creating poetry that honors victims and their stories. This generative poetry workshop will explore the ways that poetry can act as a social justice and activism device in the context of true crime, and how we can uplift the stories of true crime victims that often go untold.
