Join us for an engaging session where we tackle two questions: Why do we write? and How can we use our “Why” to become more reflective writers?
In this first script-writing studio, we will delve into how to write scenes without words—sometimes, the best form of writing/visualization comes with no dialogue.

In this studio, we will learn more about different forms of storytelling from spoke word to experimental theater. We will also do some writing exercises prompted by the stories inside of us!
In this IV Teach Committee session, participants will explore how to give feedback that is supportive, actionable, and growth-oriented. Through reflection, discussion, and small-group collaboration, committee members will examine common challenges in providing feedback and develop practical strategies for celebrating strengths, offering constructive guidance, asking reflective questions, and recognizing potential biases. Together, we will create a community feedback cheat sheet—a shared resource of language, frameworks, and best practices that can be used across Girls Write Now programs to support more inclusive, encouraging, and impactful learning experiences.
Enjoy two easy and fun writing springs based on provided word prompts. By this session’s end, you’ll have two pieces to submit to contests and publications.
