Season 4 Debuts on March 4th!
First released in September 2023, members of the Girls Write Now community share a draft of one of their works in progress and discuss both the writing process and what creative expression looks like to them.

The Happenings at the Estate
This is an interactive reading/listening experience. Listen to the accompanying audio with headphones and read at your pace.
Double Vision
The newspapers called them “a monstrosity,” “sent from the devil himself,” “a burden to a mother.” But Judith just saw her twin sisters and a future where only one of them would survive.
Poetry Podcast: How A Poem Comes to Be
How does a poem come to be? Mentee Angie Galindo Perez reads her poem-in-progress, "Where I Am," and shares how she is crafting the piece.
Ye Olde Voicemaille
Have you ever wondered what would happen if medieval serfs had answering machines?
Spring Sunday
I first started out with just a rush of memories of the garden, then I organized those memories into seasons and turned five pages from my collage journal into representations of those seasons and memories.
A Generational Blessing
Oftentimes I tend to focus on generational curses, the bad traits I've received from my family. My piece reflects on this and the generational blessings passed down.
Zoom to the Moon
While writing this essay, my goal was to keep things lighthearted and tell an entertaining story that also shared a bit of my personality and interests.
Everyone’s a little bit GAY!!!
Are you a queer youth trying to navigate the waters of coming out? Do you enjoy hearing other people's coming out stories? Or do you just want to laugh at the innocence (and sometimes ignorance) of teenagers? Look no further, this podcast is meant for you!
the body: an examination
This poem comes from a page of “The Power to be Affected,” a philosophy essay by Michael Hardt. It is a work that first resonated with me at age 14.
Tiff Talks: An Afternoon with Brick Distributor
"Tiff Talks: An Afternoon with Brick Distributor" is a podcast about a recent music event in Brooklyn that my friend’s band, Brick Distributor, performed at. My mentor played a huge role in the inspiration for this project, as her studies of journalism and communications inspired me to pursue my own project (and soon major) in journalism. This represents my best work in the program this year because it combines everything I learned about writing at Girls Write Now for the past four years. It is a symbol of how much I've grown in this program.
