This book should be distributed in every place where girls and women gather, and maybe they should gather just to read and learn and be inspired by this book. It is a beautiful journey through the many stages, joys, challenges and celebrations of being female in today's world. Bravo to WriteGirl for bringing these powerful voices together. Bold Ink is truly a triumph.

This is a beautiful collection. I got it as a gift and am buying some to give as gifts to other people. There are pieces written by at risk teen-age girls and the women who mentor them and the subject matter is wide and varied - but it is very inspirational and great for people of all ages. The essays and poems and stories are amazing!

A great book for not only women writers but also parents and teenagers. Get inspired - get the book!

I literally could not put this book down once I started. I was amazed at the words that these young girls have put to paper about their lives. I found it absolutely inspiring personally; it encouraged me to do more writing of my own and was an excellent model in self-expression through the written word. It also helped me feel more "connected" to women of a much younger generation than me. I hope English teachers across America will pick up this book and share it with their students to inspire them to write as well! Now all we need is a similar program for boys....

This book is so beautifully put together. I was looking for a writing guide for my 12 year old daughter -- at first, I did not think this book was it, but I'm a teacher and I was curious. BOLD INK is truly amazing. there are poems and stories from young girls, but there are also little blurbs explaining how they went about the writing process. My daughter devoured this book and has written so much more than she ever has. I think that adults can teach children all they want, but it is the lessons from their peers that they really take to heart.

This book is just as other reviewers have said, inspiring. I have to add something that the other reviewers haven't said, which is that the design is one of the best I've seen for this type of book. It's a real pleasure for the eye, and very imaginatively done without distracting from the reading.

If you are a girl, know a girl or have ever been a girl, this is the book for you. This anthology of the collected writings of teenage girls and their women mentors uplifts, inspires and transforms.

Also, when you purchase a book you help support a noble cause and allow this non-profit mentoring program to continue providing its much needed service.

This is a great book filled with every emotion under the sun! It made me laugh, cry and sing. I applaud the women and girls who gave so much of themselves to make this book a reality. A definite must read!

I am one of the writers in BOLD INK and i would just like to say that i had an wonderful time working with my mentor. Writing the pieces that went into the the book as well as the ones that didnt. I would also like to thanks everyone who left a comment. Now I can only speak for myself but i enjoyed hearing good feedback about the book. Please enjoy and thank you very much.
