Anthology Launch Party
About the Event
Friday, May 20
6-7:15 PM ET
online event; open to the public and all mentees & mentors
For more than two years, our young writers have weathered an adolescence shaped by an ongoing global pandemic. But a harsh climate can also produce work of rare depth, complexity, nuance and humor. The result is a stunning book with global relevance of all this generation has endured and transformed.
Join us as we celebrate the launch of our newest book, Taking Root: The Girls Write Now 2022 Anthology, made possible thanks to Dutton Books, Amazon Literary Partnership and Feminist Press. The event features three mentee performances, writing prompts inspired by their original work—and a toast to our authors. The evening will be emceed by mentee Hazel Agicha with her mentor and Anthology Editorial Committee member Nikki Palumbo.
Purchase your copy of the anthology online or in stores at Books are Magic, Cafe con Libros, Mahogany Books, McNally Jackson and The Strand.
Cheers! Get ready to party with these anthology-inspired mocktails.
