Testimonials

Words From Our Satisfied Partners

“When I come across an organization like Girls Write Now, which inspires and fuels that potential talent, especially amongst young women, because we don’t have nearly enough young women writers in our industry, it’s hard not to admire what’s being done and also to feel the potential relevance for an industry like advertising.”
Emma Cookson Honoree
“It’s so important to support somebody’s honest voice who has a story to tell. It doesn’t matter where she comes from or who she is, but to let her know that her voice is important and we want to listen to it.”
Tamra Davis Honoree
“When you see our girls, when you see them in action, reading their stories, their poetry, interacting with their mentors, you know that you’re looking at the future. And it’s a future that’s bright.”

“As a journalist, I believe in the power of storytelling: to shed light, to move people, to effect change…and I believe girls need to be able to take control of their stories and launch them into the world. Girls WRite Now helps to harness that magic and make it happen.”
