Young Pens
Posted by alli on 02-27-2006From East Tennessee comes Young Pens, a non-profit organization where youth can submit their writing of any kind to a board of editors. On the About page, Young Pens mentions that they help writers revise and review, in addition to helping writers get published. On the site, you can read quotations from members and check out many of the group's favorite books. Young Pens also features several different programs for students and teachers including contests, teacher awards, an online forum, support and advice, and workshops. The Poetry page showcases many creative and insightful poems, and the online "web pubs portal" lets anyone read the poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or comment on the writing. At 300 members and growing, we think all local libraries and schools should have sites like this that encourage young writers.
