Girls Write Now in 5 Minutes

A Glimpse Into Mentoring Relationships

What does mentorship look like? It's a lot of writing, editing, hugging, celebrating, and... how about we let our mentors and mentees tell you? Girls Write Now is releasing two new videos to showcase the incredible talent and mentorship in our community. The first, made in partnership with NBCU and Reel Works, is a collage of experiences from mentors, mentees, and staff members from all parts of our 25 year history.
