WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SUBMISSION?
Selection: Everyone will be selected! The Reading Committee will divide pieces into two categories: half for the Winter Reading in January; half for the Girls Write Now Day reading in March.  We will NOT be judging pieces--we will simply be dividing according to content and tone. Again, everyone will be selected for one of the readings.
Notification: We will not be able to let you know at which event you will be reading until mid January, so you should be prepared to read at either one.
Reading/Performance: When reading, you and your mentor/mentee stand at the microphone and read or perform your piece(s) together.
Rehearsal: Practice the performance techniques you learned from Parker at the December 13th workshop.  There are also tips in your handbook. You should rehearse at home by yourself and at your pair sessions before the reading. There will be a required warm-up one hour before the reading.
Attendance: All mentors & mentees must attend both readings. You will be reading at one and supporting your peers at the other.

WHEN ARE THE READINGS?
The Winter Reading is on SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2009, 5-7 PM at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, 64th St @ Central Park West.  Mark your calendars!! Mentors and mentees must arrive no later than 3:30 PM. The Girls Write Now Day Reading is in March 2009--date and location TBA. Mentees and Mentors should invite all family and friends to both readings! This is your chance to share your work and to support the Girls Write Now community.
