Thrilled to have Mariane Pearl at the Girls Write Now Awards!

May 1, 2015

unnamed-1Mariane Pearl will be serving as our emcee for the 2015 Girls Write Now Awards and we could not be happier. Mariane is an award winning journalist and writer who works in French, English and Spanish. She is the managing editor of Chime for Change, a global journalism platform focusing on women and girls that launched on March 8th 2013 in partnership with the International Herald Tribune (global edition of  The New York Times) and the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

We spoke with Mariane, last October, about the power of storytelling and the need to support women writers. She holds that “by giving girls their own voices, and not necessarily as victims, we also understand and slowly realize their unfathomable power to transform their own lives and that of others.”

Her first book, A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Daniel Pearl, won international praise and was translated into 15 languages; and, in 2007, it was released as a major feature movie starring Angelina Jolie in the role of Mariane Pearl. She has contributed to The New York Times, The Sunday Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Self Magazine, among others, and has been awarded the National Headliners Award for magazine writing, the Time Warner Women Award, the Woman of the Year Award, the White House Project Award, the AWRT (American Women in Radio and Television) Award, the Internews Award for Excellence in International Reporting, the Vital Voices Award, the El Mundo Editorial Award in Spain, and the Prix “Vérité” in France for excellence in nonfiction writing.

She is currently working on her third book, a family memoir set between Paris, New York City and Havana.

Girls’ ideas, wisdom and vision are a precious gift to those who listen. Girls Write Now showcases this by introducing us to a new generation of women writers.” —MARIANE PEARL

Celebrate Black History Month!

Each week throughout February, we’ll be sharing stories, resources and events from our community and our partners that honor Black art, writing, culture and history!

Life Resources and Events

At Girls Write Now, we work to challenge and change the systemic racism and inequality by breaking down the barriers of race and poverty to elevate the voices of girls and gender nonconforming youth who are too often not heard—or worse, silenced. From mental and emotional wellness to advocating for racial justice, we are here to support you individually and as a community through our robust programming. Check out our calendar to see our current offerings or visit our Life Resources page to support you during this time.

Friday Night Salon with Megan Reid & Wendi Gu

Join us on Friday, February 26, 6-7:30 PM ET for Picture Books 101: Writing for Kids When You Aren’t One with Megan Reid and Wendi Gu!

We’re Hiring!

GIVE. WRITE. NOW. And Thank you!!

Girls Write Now’s services are more essential than ever before—serving the hardest hit communities—and many of our young women and gender nonconforming youth have themselves become essential workers to help their families. They carry an enormous burden and face devastating loss, slipping further into poverty. To meet the need, we have enriched and extended our programs, leading the historical transition to virtual learning.

Get Involved!
