Join us for an inspiring Tech Day with Estée Lauder, where creativity meets technology to make a lasting impact! This event will spark curiosity, build skills, and empower minds through hands-on learning and expert insights. Together, we’ll explore the world of technology and collaborate on building a curriculum that shapes future tech talent.
This month, we’ll discuss how to find inspiration and writing prompts in media of all kinds — books, movies, plays, shows, etc! And then we’ll create a few prompts together for good measure.
Looking for jobs or internships? No need to go it alone. Join us this month to share tips on networking, job hunting, professional communication, and accountability. Mentors are invited to share their wisdom and professional journeys to support mentees.
This month, we’re excited to pull back the curtain on the publishing world: how books are published and how YOU can get published, including the 2025 Anthology. We’ll introduce the Anthology and its editing committee — maybe you’d like to join? HarperOne Associate Editor Daphney Guillaume will share her publishing experience, and other committee members will be available to answer your questions.
Explore creative writing and art-making that reflects on the relationship between humans and native plants, and encourage participants to turn their creative process into environmental advocacy projects.
Join Girls Write Now and Penguin Random House for a panel discussion on the Best Short Stories 2024 Anthology featuring The O. Henry Prize Winners! Our panelist include Jenny Minton Quigley, the series editor for the O. Henry Prize Stories, along with Amber Caron and Caroline Kim, two O. Henry Prize-winning writers whose work is featured in this year’s anthology.
The Mentor Support Group/Think Tank is a space for mentors to meet up and talk about their GWN experience.
Join the leading tech company Kyndryl at the Girls Write Now NYC headquarters to learn about tech, AI, and how to break into the ever-growing field. We will discuss the relationship between writing and AI and what we need to know about cybersecurity to feel safe, and engage in generative writing and networking activities.
This month, we are going to talk about the relationship between voice and character. We’ll get to know our main characters and talk about the ways their personality traits, background, identity markers, and more influence the ways our characters think and speak, whether our narration is 1st person, close 3rd, or even 3rd omniscient.
What does it mean to be “broken”? And how do we reconfigure the pieces of your puzzling life to feel more complete? In this workshop, we metaphorically explore, through literature and writing, how the cracks of the mended kintsugi cup has its own beauty.
