Any cool sites you’d like us to see? Post them here!
Another really great website for teens who like to create things (like poems, art, and stories) is Teen Ink (http://teenink.com/). It’s originally a magazine, but they have great contests and help for teens who love to be creative 🙂
Yaldah Magazine, by and for Jewish girls is looking for short fiction, true experience, poetry, interviews, and essays. Submit your idea first. Writers should be between 9 and 17. http://www.yaldahmagazine.com
I think this is among the most important info for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark
on few general things, The website style is great, the articles is really nice : D.
Good job, cheers
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet
effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!
Good news! The original YoungWriter Magazine’s series of Guest Author interviews is back online at http://www.mystworld.com/youngwriter/
Authors and poets such as Philip Pullman, Malorie Blackman, Grace Nichols, Terry Pratchett and dozens more were interviewed by children. There are some real gems of information there for all aspiring writers.
I personally enjoy youngwriterssociety.com quite a bit. It’s a site where young writers review other writer’s works to get the points to post their own for review. It’s very useful and also fun because of the forums there as well.
Here’s another new/free site for young writers, “Write the World” ( http://writetheworld.com ). Global community, good prompt selection, writing groups, competitions for cash, peer reviews, etc..
Hey thanks, Steve!
