CHAPTERS Reading Series 2017

CHAPTERS is where our girls’ work goes from page to stage, and these talented young writers perform their best work. Each reading opens with a keynote speech from an inspiring writer who embodies the principles we instill in our girls: dedication to craft, determination to tell a story with honesty and brilliance, and a passion to live fearlessly. This year’s keynote speakers include exciting new authors with fresh voices that are not always represented in the classic canon or on high school reading lists.

More information and to buy tickets for each event:
March 17: CHAPTERS with keynote Hala Alyan at New York Historical Society
April 21: CHAPTERS with keynote Emma Cline at Pen + Brush
May 19: CHAPTERS with keynote Emma Straub at New York Historical Society
June 16: CHAPTERS with keynote Karina Glaser at New York Historical Society

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.
