Hi Jessica! Welcome to the site, I hope everything is going well so far :)

We do have a few artists here so you could always look around the art forums and if you see someone who draws in a style they like, send a friendly pm to see if they'd make a novel cover for you. Alternatively, as Blue said there's contests. You can offer reviews of YWS point as an encouragement for people to enter and then you'd have a few possible covers to choose from.

Welcome Kehau! I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right, Kay-how maybe? But cool name and I like your username too! Feel free to ask if you have any questions, we're here to help!

Hi. I'm Richard, a teen of few words but of a dark imagination. I'd love to read peoples material as well as get some good writing advice.
Laments of passion
Obstructed by fear.
Under guises of jovial chatter;
Incredulous hopes
Steadily feasting away-
Eating away at my heart.

Hello, my name is John and I am new here as well! I love to write, both in my native language and in English. I am really looking forward to exchanging ideas with fellow writers, and maybe I can improve my English a little bit along the way too... :D

Hi, welcome to both of you!

John, what's your original language if you don't mind me asking? I greatly admire people who know a second language and even more so when they write in that second language because I know how tough it is. My Greek friend says the creative projects are always the toughest so I take my hat off to you.

If either of you, or anyone else needs anything at all, feel free to drop me a pm and I'll answer your questions/ help you find your way around YWS ^^

Hey, Heather!
I am from the Netherlands, so my first language is Dutch. I like writing in Dutch as well, but I must say I have more love for the English language. It is true that it takes a lot more effort to write in a language that is, in essence, not your own. Even things such as punctuation are different in each language!
Greetings, John

Ah Dutch! That's very cool and I must say, you write very beautifully in English. If you hadn't admitted it, I would think you were from this country since your vocabulary and sentence structure are better than some of the native speakers I know!


By the way everyone, we have this system called a 'Buddy System' where the new member can choose an older member to show them around the site and answer any questions they have. The older member also reviews some of their work and can introduce them to other members, old and new! So it's a win win situation since all you have to do is be new :D It's a great opportunity for any of you who are feeling unsure about where to start or who just want to meet some new people.

Hey there, I'm Rory but you can call me roza (pronnounced Rozza). I tend to write more horror related pieces. Sometime it takes a while for me to come up with a fresh idea but when I do they flow out of me! I'm currently working on a novelistion for the video game Left 4 Dead in hpes to get it pubished. Due to the exclusion of alot of cutscenes in the game I will have to use alot of ceative thinking to work it out. As soon as I complete the introduction Chapters I intend to post them here before submitting my idea to Valve

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
