WriteGirl

WriteGirl empowers girls through creative writing and mentoring within a community of women writers. Founded in December 2001, WriteGirl’s innovative program provides one-on-one weekly mentoring and monthly writing workshops, where girls are given techniques, insights and tips for great writing in all genres. Participating girls come from more than 30 high schools in the densely populated central Los Angeles region and beyond. Mentors and volunteers are accomplished journalists, novelists, poets, TV and film writers, songwriters, marketing executives, editors and more, from all over Los Angeles.
