Girls Write Now

IV Edit – Print Committee

Intersectional Voices in Editorial – Print

Committee Description

The IV Edit – Print Committee focuses on traditional print media at Girls Write Now. This committee is dedicated to producing the yearly anthology that showcases the written work of Girls Write Now mentees. The goal is to provide a tangible platform for storytelling, allowing community members to see their work in print and share it with a wider audience. Participants in this group also learn all the steps of the publishing process, including concept development, manuscript preparation, design, printing, and distribution. This hands-on experience helps committee members gain a comprehensive understanding of print publishing while amplifying diverse voices within the Girls Write Now community.
