Girls Write Now publishes Girls Write Now On The Art Of The Craft: A Guidebook To Collaborative Storytelling through HarperOne

A writing companion, inspirational guide to the craft, and innovative anthology featuring interactive multi-genre work from the acclaimed organization Girls Write Now on its 25th anniversary.

We all have stories to tell, but not everyone gets the mentoring and training to become great storytellers. Founded a quarter century ago, Girls Write Now has empowered young women and gender-expansive young adults to harness their creative talents, gaining  confidence, skills, and a community to support them in sharing stories the world needs to hear. 

Introducing our newest anthology in celebration of our 25th anniversary: Girls Write Now On the Art of the Craft: A Guidebook to Collaborative Storytelling. This hands-on guide—conceived of, written, and edited by the young people of Girls Write Now—draws from the organization’s dynamic curriculum and the writers’ own personal experiences spanning decades. Structured around three magical themes—Creation, Combination, and Transformation—this book is alchemy for aspiring writers to develop their craft, including tips, insight, prompts, and advice on the writing and publishing process as well as critical thinking about the future of storytelling.

With this handbook, both uplifting and practical, readers everywhere can equip themselves to shape their life stories, and become the writers and leaders they dream of being. Art of the Craft was released on April 23, 2024.
