Travel + Leisure recommends our newest anthology, Taking Root, which showcases the work of the teen writers of Girls Write Now’s Class of 2022.

“While the organization releases an anthology of its mentees’ writing annually, this year’s stands out from its predecessors. “‘Taking Root’ teems with the raw emotions, opinions, hopes, dreams, and fears from the next generation — fresh off the pandemic,” Nussbaum explained. “And the world is taking note. We have sold out our limited-edition first-print run. But new copies are on the way — these are voices that must be heard — stories that will change minds, heal communities, and impact the way we live our lives and understand ourselves.” A limited number of copies are available now through Books are Magic (as well as pre-orders on McNally Jackson) for $20.”
