Support the 20th Season of WriteGirl!

When you buy a poem, your contribution is helping us meet our goal of raising $10,000 to support our 20th anniversary season.

How it works: Even just $20 snags you a unique poem, written by a real WriteGirl teen! We’re bringing together a group of mentees for a writing PoetryPalooza where they will be writing poems in their own unique style, just for you! We guarantee your poem will be free from trite rhymes and tired cliches. Every poem will be bursting with the creative energy of our amazing teen writers! 

Please allow up to 2 weeks for your poem to arrive in your inbox.

Donation LEVELS

$20  – You’ll receive a short poem written by a WriteGirl teen. It might be about love, it might be about sneakers—but it will be something creative coming your way!

$200 – Receive a poem on the theme of HOPE, written by a WriteGirl teen. After all, their generation is the future! (And who couldn’t use a little hope right now?)

$2,000 – Custom poem from a teen girl will be written specifically for you. Tell us who it is for, and a few words or ideas you want to include, and a teen girl will write a customized poem to your specs. (This will rock your world, trust us.)
