I found out about the site from Alice. She told me about it on Yahoo messenger back in March 2007. I like this site a lot. Even though I was quite the trouble maker in my early days of the site. :wink:

I get this newsletter from the English department at my college every month or so. Awhile back (last year) it mentioned how someone got published on some e-magazine called Toasted Cheese. Recently I remembered that...then on that site it mentioned how it was one of the 101 best sites for writers on Writers Digest. So I looked at that list saw a link to this site and was curious...

I'm on fictionpress but the "reviews" there aren't really helpful at all. I guess they're more like a self-esteem booster. But yeah, I'm liking this site better.

I was sick of asking my friends for feedback of my poems, so I Googled 'Young Writers', i clicked on it, liked it, the rest is history.
On a scale of 1 to Random, I'm pretty ADHD.

Funny that.

I found it in google when I searched for young writers groups. I'd emailed the author Jodi Picoult (She's my favourite) and she told me there were many online groups out there for young writers. So I googled :D I hadn't realized these groupd existed online, silly me :D

Some others came up in the search too but YWS was the best one ! :wink:

I was looking for a good website to post my works and get some critiques. I had a lot but none, so far, is up to par to YWS. :wink:

Just like many others here, I was googling around and then I eventually found this website.

Ummm...I don't actually remember. :? I think I may have found it through Google or another writing site. I was basically just browsing around and looking for something to do.

I was looking for a place to submit my writing to get feedback or just to get my name out there and I stumbled unto this after a few hours. I stopped looking after that and I'm very satisfied so far.
May all of your endeavors be sucessful;
but if they aren't, write about them.
And if they are, write about them.
Just Write.

I was on writing.com. Then got disillusioned with the lack of feedback. I then browsed for young writer's forums [or something like that] and found this to best out of the ones I found. Woop.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

I typed in "Young writers" on google search, and YWS was the first hit.



I hope that when I am gone, someone still reaches for me like I reach for them
