About Print Anthology Committee

Each year, Girls Write Now community members come together to support the production of our annual award-winning anthology. The Print Anthology Committee is responsible for editing individual pieces, attending regular meetings, securing author blurbs, and supporting the release of the book. Our annual anthology is published by Dutton Books and features mentee writing across genre, providing a vital glimpse into the lives of today’s next-gen leaders and storytellers.

Print Anthology Committee will meet monthly during the 2023-2024 Girls Write Now Collaboratory. Mentors, mentees, alumni, and members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings.
