Virtual event; open to all mentees, all mentors, print anthology committee members, program alum, and the public

Counts towards monthly Community Studio requirement for mentees and mentors!

Girls Write Now’s award-winning anthology doesn’t write itself! Learn how this annual book is made, from securing author blurbs from celebrated writers like Amanda Gorman, to working with our publisher, Dutton, to get the book on shelves.

This month, all are welcome for a brainstorming session for the title of our 2024 anthology! We’ll talk through our reflections on the past year and our hopes for the future to help us name the next installment of this popular Girls Write Now series.

Registration will be capped to allow for intimate discussion. Save your spot now!

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.
