WRITING OUR WAY TO WELLNESS PODCAST

Social Media: Gen Z on Harm & Healing 

Episode 4 Features Michelle Chen, Sheyla Javier & Luca Sabine 

Girls Write Now community members Michelle Chen, Sheyla Javier, and Luca Sabine talk about what it's like to grow up with social media as Gen Zers. In an era of performativity, doomscrolling, and engagement farming, this episode explores the underbelly of the social tool at all of our fingertips.

STORY COLLECTION HIGHLIGHT

Studies in Sound

Celebrating National Arts & Humanities Month

To close out our celebration of National Arts and Humanties Month, we've curated a collection of experimental audio pieces. Our writers have channeled their creativity into intimate diary entries, hypnotic GarageBand beats, Old English phone calls, and more. These boundary-crossing works make a compelling case for a return to the original audience of the story — the ear, not the eye.

Prompt of the Week

From Margery Hannah, Lead of Nonfiction 360

Discuss the role of narrative and storytelling in nonfiction. How can storytelling enhance the effectiveness of nonfiction writing?

This prompt comes from Nonfiction 360, a new learning journey from Girls Write Now. Mentees on this seven month journey will read and write a variety of creative non-fiction texts based on actual events and people. By the end of this journey, participants will have a body of work that will demonstrate their growth as writers, plus the opportunity to pitch their work!
