Guiding Principles
Every girl is a writer
Whether it’s a sentence, a drawing, a poem, or a list, all forms of expression are welcome and respected.
Mentors write too
Mentors are active participants. They write with the group to model creativity, presence, and openness.
Only positive feedback is shared
Participants say what they liked, what stood out, or what felt strong.
Sharing is always optional
Girls can choose whether or not to read their work aloud. Listening with full attention is equally powerful.
Process is more important than outcome
Writing is about discovery and expression. Every contribution matters.
