The holiday season is here, and at Global Writers Project (GWP), we’re spreading festive cheer with the return of our Penpal Community! 🎄 This year, we’re introducing a unique and creative celebration: The 12 Days of Christmas: Writers Edition—a fun way for writers worldwide to connect, share, and create together.

What is the 12 Days of Christmas: Writers Edition?

It’s a holiday-themed writing journey where paired penpals participate in 12 days of creative activities designed to inspire and delight. From writing letters to crafting poetry and sharing festive traditions, this initiative is a wonderful way to rekindle connections and celebrate the season through words.
