For The Record: A WYWA Podcast
For the Record is WYWA’s official podcast, created to spark thoughtful conversations around literature, women’s empowerment, and modern-day issues. Each episode explores books and authors—especially women whose writing has shaped culture, advanced representation, or achieved groundbreaking success. The podcast also features guest authors, youth leaders, and partner organizations who align with WYWA’s mission. Beyond literary analysis, we discuss the real challenges young women face today, from social media pressures to body image and identity. For the Record is available to listen to on Spotify.

WRITEHER: WYWA’s Author Mentorship Program
The WYWA Author Mentorship Program is a three-month, one-on-one mentorship experience that pairs young writers with published authors to guide them through the process of developing and completing an original fictional novel. Designed for passionate youth ready to deepen their craft, the program offers weekly virtual sessions, personalized feedback, and professional guidance on storytelling, revision, and the publishing process.
As a youth-led initiative, the program centers collaboration, creative confidence, and voice. Participants leave with a completed manuscript, a stronger sense of authorship, and a deeper understanding of what it takes to bring a story from idea to publication.
