Spring 2026

Inimitable Voices in the Age of AI

AI can replicate form, but not the glorious quirks of you. Together, we’ll explore the tenets of human inimitability—Play, Empathy, Friction, Serendipity, Embodied Intelligence—and explore AI tools that amplify (not blur) your unique voice. That wonderful, specific, spiky point of view that each of us has—and that the world needs now more than ever.

Success Stories

Writers Come From All Fields—Yes, Even STEM

“When I started mentoring with Girls Write Now in 2020, my colleagues in big tech often asked why—or more precisely, ‘What does writing have to do with analytics?!’ Five years later, my answer is clear: Technology and creativity go hand in hand. You can’t afford to resist either one.”
