Writing That Changes the World
About the Event
Monday November 15
6-7 PM ET
virtual event; open to all mentees, mentors & members
Writing That Changes the World shows how the written word can be used in service of real life social issues. In this studio, we will read mentor texts, learn various styles of journalistic writing, consider how other media can be used in advocacy work, and even start our own pieces of advocacy journalism. Bring your creativity, enthusiasm, and energy to the table!
In this studio, we will discuss the various types of story formats within the traditional journalism space that most lend themselves to advocacy work, and also share tips that will help writers make their advocacy-focused writing as effective as possible.
To attend this event, create a Girls Write Now account and register for this event through the portal.
