Through mentoring, writing workshops, public readings, performances, and publications, WriteGirl teens explore poetry, fiction, journalism, screenwriting, songwriting and more. Monthly workshops (Saturdays) are held near downtown Los Angeles and weekly workshops (weekdays) take place across the greater Los Angeles region.
