Art too often is the first thing that’s cut when budgets are tight. Stories, ideas, and perspectives are treated as a privilege, rather than a necessary part of life. As New York City’s libraries are forced to close their doors due to budget cuts, join us for a timely discussion about accessibility of stories for all.
In December’s NextGen Philanthropy Studio, we’ll have philanthropist guests from within our community come speak with us and further expand on re-imagining philanthropy. There will be video clips, music, and an opportunity for us to collectively brainstorm what giving might look like.
Girls Write Now’s award-winning anthology doesn’t just happen. Learn how this annual book is made, from securing author blurbs, to editing in Chicago Style. After learning about the process, you can inquire about joining the 2024 Anthology Committee. We will go over what is expected of you, time commitments, and more. Special guests include mentor alum and author Carol Paik, and mentee alum Mariah Dwyer, who has worked in publishing (and knows a ton about publishing a book!), as well as mentee alum Sophia Torres.
At the January studio of the NextGen Philanthropy Initiative, find out how to turn your personal story into a radical force, because we’re not here to make sure things stay the same. We’re here to change.
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 the Girls Write Now annual anthology series.
