Hello! New member here.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Young Writer's Society, but so far it looks like a really interesting place for young writers to come alongside one another with support and feedback.

I'm Grace, and I like to write short stories and essays. I work writing SEO articles for various employers (very different than creative writing, let me tell you!) and as the Editor-in-Chief of the Radiate Literary Journal. The journal is completely run by students and publishes work by young writers. That means I tend to work more on the publication side of things than the writing side, but it's always exciting to connect with other organizations with a similar purpose such as this one!

In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights (USA Powerlifting for me, anyone else here?) and reading. I'm always up for book recommendations, so let me know what your favorites are!

I can't wait to meet everyone and keep reading the stories here. If you have any tips about how everything works here, please let me know!

'Ello Grace! Nice to meet you!

If you need any help, you can contact a moderator. They are the ones with green names. If you ever want to chat with someone, send me a PM because I'm always ready for a new conversation.

Good job on all the reviews you've done. When you do one more, you'll get your first review star! You get review stars every time you reach a review goal number (e.g. 5 for the first, 25 for the second, etc.)

I hope you like it around here!

Hi there graine! I'm glad you're enjoying your time on YWS so far

It's really awesome that you're able to be involved with published journals and magazines already! It sounds like a really fun and interesting project for a young writer.

I see you've already done some reviews, which is super great! I hope you've enjoyed dipping your toes into the literary section of YWS. The Forums have some great resources for writers, and the People's tab is a great place to connect with others and share updates on your life. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the site; I am actually a retired moderator on the site, hence the slightly different colored name! I can't promise answers, but I can promise I'll reach out to the appropriate people to get an answer for you!

I hope you enjoy your time on YWS!

Welcome to YWS, Grace!! I hope you enjoy your stay here <3

What kind of short stories do you like writing?

Hi Mellifera!
I like to write anything that's currently interesting to me, which can span a wide variety of genres. Currently I'm enjoying experimental flash fiction. What do you write?
