The Girl Group was created as a forum to talk about the challenges of writing, editing and general career advancement as a woman working in the arts media. It hopes to offer thoughtful advice and support for the furthering of women who already are or would like to become professional music writers, and to as serve as a space to critique current writing and music trends.

We also maintain two events calendars. We have a worldwide public calendar for gender/sexuality related music writing, popular music, and music scholarship events. It can be found at GoogleCalendars: GirlGroup's Popular Music, Gender/Sexuality, and Music Writing Events Calendar. The NYC chapter of GirlGroup maintains a NYC-area event list. Email the moderators to be added as an active contributor to either list.
