Amanda B. interviews Keren Taylor (@kerentaylor), Executive Director of the young women's creative writing and mentoring organization WriteGirl (writegirl.org) and publisher of their multiple-dozen-award-winning anthologies. They discuss...
The collective's new book, This Moment: Bold Voices from WriteGirl.
Self-expression as an unshakable anchor for young women in a world that imposes upon them.
The role of non-competition in fostering strength.
Being in it for the long haul.
Receiving an award from part-human, part-deity Michelle Obama.
(Do "volition" and "volunteer" share a root word? Meet me below for the answer.)
The change in communication styles of girls over the past 19 years.
The scratch of a pen vs. the clack of a keyboard.
The unique badassness of good journal design.
The prospective worth of the first WriteGirl anthology. Likely a billion Euro.
When you should underestimate the power of a girl and her pen (SA: never).
The female-led revolution is imminent, sure, but is it a good idea to give girls cannons?
What? ONE "n"?
That's not a word. Nice try.
You inspired, or scared? Be honest ;)
