Here at Girls Write Now, we are witnessing the highest demand for our services in nearly 25 years.
We are responding by leveling enormous educational inequities and fighting against feelings of isolation through enriched programming. Support from our broader community can change the trajectory of a young writer’s life and empower the next generation of writers and leaders.
To our community of mentors, mentees, alum and loyal supporters: YOU are agents to our mission! You give something greater than money—your time, your knowledge, your compassion. Please share your incredible stories and contributions with your friends, family and colleagues. We’d be thrilled and honored to have them join our movement.
Thanks so much for everything you do for Girls Write Now!

It’s the Perfect Gift!
Girls Write Now 2021 class of mentees are using their voices for change in one of the most uncertain periods of modern history. Support our young writers by purchasing a copy!
To be unmuted right now requires a new brand of bravery, and these young writers show how it’s done. Using stories, poems, essays, fiction, drama, interviews and more, they report on a global pandemic, a climate crisis and the movement for racial equality. In a world pushed to the precipice of change, in a society that values the tried and true over the dynamic and new, the Girls Write Now class of 2021 is breaking the chains and showing what it means to speak loud, clear and true—to be unmuted.
