Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.

Some great places to start on the site are:
* The Welcome Mat
* YWS Rules
* FAQs for New Members
And if you're having any trouble getting started reviewing (how you earn points on the site) - The YWS Critique Sandwich is a method a lot of people start with. It's the review method of identifying positives, points of improvements, and overall impressions - a quick way to order reviews.
Also if you're interested in staying up to date with poetry events and activities on the site, I recommend subscribing to the Poetry Club and the Poetry Jam Club. We'd love to have you join!
Best of luck in your writing endeavors!
