WriteGirl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WriteGirl is a Los Angeles-based project of Community Partners, a nonprofit organization.
Since 2001, WriteGirl has paired professional women writers in the Los Angeles area with at-risk teenage girls who do not otherwise have access to creative writing or mentoring programs. The mentoring focuses on the craft of creative writing and empowerment through self-expression. By means of one-on-one sessions and monthly workshops, girls are given techniques, insights, and practical advice for writing in several genres: Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry, Songwriting, and Screenwriting.
Each year, an anthology of the girls’ writing is published.
