IVEdit – Processing Through Writing

Monday, Jan. 29
6-7PM ET

virtual event; open to all mentees, all mentors, IVEdit committee
members, program alum, and the public
Counts towards monthly Community Studio requirement for mentees and mentors!

IVEdit Community Studios will begin with a discussion of the stories and perspectives you’re seeing through the original writing of Girls Write Now. Then, we’ll dive into the special topic of the month: Processing Through Writing.

Writing can be a tool to help us process the events of our lives and the feelings that we have. How can we shift from thinking about writing as a product made for external goals to writing for ourselves? Join us for a session of care and discussion on the impulse to process through creation.

About Intersectional Voices in Editorial Committee (IVEdit)

Are you interested in learning more about Girls Write Now Stories and our digital publication process? Intersectional Voices in Editorial (IVEdit) Committee assists with editorial, outreach, and publication of all Girls Write Now Stories, as well as envisioning how Girls Write Now can continue to be a leader in a new era of publishing. We, as editors, come from a myriad of backgrounds, we belong to many groups, and we have experienced many perspectives. We bring all of this to the work as we explore the stories created and celebrated in our community.

IVEdit 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 and volunteer to help us edit our stories.
