Journeys
Each Journey is a expertly curated package of mentorship, community experiences, and writing-based courses. Here’s what participants have to say about their Journeys:
“Through Girls Write Now, I was able to meet and connect with my mentor, Sam… She’s guided me through writing, the college admissions process, life, and everything else that I couldn’t have imagined this year without her. Through the program’s Poetry Journey, I’ve also been able to connect with so many writers my age and meet with so many published professionals…I’m truly grateful for the program and for everything it has done! Thank you so, so much!”
– Premrudee, Mentee
“Joining my Career Journey turned into another moment for me to grow. I learned how to collaborate and looked for ways to fully step into a more mature, self-assured person…I swear I feel like crying just trying to express my gratitude.”
– Dolores Haze, Editorial Intern and Class of 2023 Alum
Mentorship
Journeys in the Girls Write Now Collaboratory allow participants to connect one-to-one across generations and establish a supportive relationship that lasts a lifetime.

– Karina Itzel, Mentee Alum
