On the Art of the Craft: A Guidebook to Collaborative Storytelling (MP3 CD) (ISBN-13: 9798874623647)

A writing companion, inspirational guide to the craft, and anthology featuring interactive multi-genre work from the acclaimed organization on its twenty-fifth anniversary.

We all have stories to tell, but not everyone gets the mentoring and training or encouragement to become a great storyteller. Founded a quarter century ago, Girls Write Now has empowered young women and gender-expansive youth to harness their creative talents, gaining confidence, skills, and a community supporting them in sharing stories the world needs to hear.

This hands-on guide--conceived of and written and edited by the young people of Girls Write Now--draws from the organization's dynamic curriculum and the writers' own personal experiences spanning decades. It offers aspiring writers the tools they need to develop their craft--including tips, insight, and advice on the writing and publishing process as well as critical thinking about the future of storytelling.

With this handbook, readers everywhere can equip themselves to shape their life stories, and become the writers and leaders they dream of being.
