For those in NYC, an event to get one’s mind off the recession and onto…the future.  The last Girls Write Now event like this I attended pretty much blew me away. Here’s the story:

Saturday, January 17th – Winter Pair Reading: A night of creativity and collaboration co-sponsored by the New York Society for Ethical Culture and featuring special guest speaker, Judy Blundell, winner of the 2008 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature for her novel, What I Saw and How I Lied. This evening, one of our most beloved public showcases, will feature original collaborative works written and performed by mentor-mentee pairs from the Girls Write Now Class of 2009. Not to be missed!
