HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2018 QWERTY DIGITAL MEDIA EXHIBITION

In Girls Write Now’s cutting edge Digital Media Mentoring Program, girls create at the intersection of language, technology, and art. The professional women in media who serve as mentors support teens as they explore writing through video and audio production, interaction design, creative programming, animation, and more.

On June 1, The QWERTY Digital Media Exhibition showcased the innovative genre-and medium-bending work by New York City teens at the New-York Historical Society.

MULTIMEDIA ANTHOLOGY

Friday Night Salon with Arisa White

Join us on Friday, January 15, 6-7:30PM EST for Memory, Metaphor & Magic: Writing Poetic Memoir with Arisa White!

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!
