**Hope and Despair**
2008-09 Girls Write Now Fiction Workshop


Fiction Workshop 08-09

Hope and despair are the twin pillars of many of the world’s stories, from the Bhagavad Gita to the bible, to the exploits of Harry Potter. At this workshop, Girls Write Now mentees and mentors will learn how to craft hope and despair in their own stories, and how to move their characters between the two. Highlights:

  • Great icebreaker activities
  • Prompts to jump start individual writing and mentoring sessions
  • “Craft Talk: Fiction” featuring Nellie Hermann, author of The Cure for Grief
  • And, as always, a healthy lunch!

Also at this workshop, mentees who are juniors and seniors will have the oportunity to meet one-on-one with a certified guidance counselor for a college counseling session as part of our Girls College Bound program.  GWN thanks Tom Rabbitt for offering his guidance and expertice.
