We Stand With Black Lives Matter

Girls Write Now stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and the intersectional coalition of artists, activists and organizations fighting for justice. For over two decades, we have dedicated our mission to 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. When our mentees share their stories, they have the power to change minds, heal communities, and impact the world. Please join us in listening.

We’re Hiring!

The Girls Write Now Fellowship Program application is officially open! And we’re looking for a stellar WordPress web developer/designer to lead the production of a new multi-genre, multimedia publishing platform showcasing our mentees’ work.

Our New Anthology Is Here!

Announcing Taking Our Place in History: the Girls Write Now 2020 Anthology published with support from Dutton and Amazon Literary Partnership, available for purchase from McNally Jackson Books!

Give. Write. Now: Support Summer Programs

Girls Write Now’s services are more essential than ever before—serving the hardest hit communities in New York City—and many of our young women and gender non-conforming 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 are enriching and extending our programs in innovative ways—including filling the gaping hole of summer youth programming.

Summer Salon Series: Save Your Spot Now

Join us on Thursday, August 6 at 6PM EST for another installment of our popular Salon Series, Memoir Writing with Maria Konnikova. Our Summer Salons—now open to the public—are a space for our community to learn from and write with incredible authors, poets and journalists. The Salon Series is an extension of our Writing Works Program.

NYXT Features Girls Write Now

NYXT featured Girls Write Now’s work in their piece about dismantling racism and in an article about how NYC-based nonprofits are adapting to the COVID-19 situation, including Girls Write Now’s pivot to virtual-format programming.

STARS Summer Syllabus

Now heading into our 7th year, the STARS Citywide Girls Initiative, comprised of ten leading nonprofits, has collectively served nearly 30,000 girls of color and gender non-conforming youth in all 51 Council Districts across the 5 boroughs—with life-changing outcomes for one of the city’s most vulnerable populations. At STARS, we understand the power of a collective, and we have banded together to ensure the extension and enrichment of our services, filling the gaping hole of summer programming for NYC youth. Introducing the STARS Summer Syllabus—capturing the depth and diversity of STARS programs across disciplines.
