“Girls Write Now is not only a community but a force of nature. No one — girl, mentor, advisor, volunteer, board member — comes into contact with Girls Write Now without being inspired to change the world and to work together for a more just and peaceful planet.” — Nancy K. Miller, author and GWN board member

Writing passionately is many things: an act of power, an act of courage, an act of generosity. Every member of our community shares a passion for mastering our craft and a deep conviction that our work has the power to enrich the lives of others as well as our own.

Join us, with the gift of your time or your talent. We’re building a community of confident women, a community that takes girls seriously for who they are as well as who they will become.
