Writing & Wellness Events for Women, Trans* & Gender-expansive Creatives
As one mentor put it, Girls Write Now events are “the cure for writer’s block.” We offer an array of writing-centered events to our community and to the public—and even virtually, our spaces are welcoming, inspiring, and empowering.
We come together to create multi-genre, multimedia work, share perspectives, hone professional skills, and support each other on the path to wellness both for ourselves and our communities. Join our mailing list to get weekly event updates!
