Each year, Writers Digest publishes a new listing of the 101 Best Sites for Writers. It's not published until May, but the deadline for nominations creeps up every year. Last year it caught me by surprise since they moved the deadline from December 31 to November 30. This year, I don't know what the deadline is, but I don't want to be surprised about it again! For all I know, it could be September 30.

So if you have some time, please consider sending an email to Writers Digest nominating the Young Writers Society. If, however, you're a writer for WritingGooder, please consider nominating WG instead (I imagine there'll be plenty for YWS).

To submit a nomination:
1. Send email to writersdigest@fwmedia.com
2. Write "101 Websites" as the subject line
3. Include the name of the site you're nominating and a web address

Here's a copy of the email I sent:
Hi, I'd like to nominate the Young Writers Society for the best 101 websites:

http://www.YoungWritersSociety.com

Thank you.


Thanks all! After you send a nomination, please leave a note here. I don't want to bombard them, so if too many start getting sent, I'd like to close this thread.

Hi!

I wanted to add my vote for YWS as one of the best writers' websites out there. It has helped me personally to develop as a writer, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in perfecting their own literary craft as well.

Greetings, wonderful people of Writers Digest!

I would like to nominate the Young Writers Society, which I help moderate. It is simply the biggest and best decision I ever made when I decided to join. I've met so many wonderful and talented people that have become my best of friends. It has also given me a place to improve on my writing and submit for helpful feedback. It's the best site for a writer to improve on their skills and meet some wonderful people.

The address is www.youngwriterssociety.com

Thank you for your consideration!

Hi there!

I'd like to nominate Young Writers Society as one of the best writing sites in the entire world wide web. Not only is it a great place to get reviews from your work, but it's a community-friendly place with lots of opportunities to make friends. Joining the website is one of the best decisions of my life, so I hope others can go through the experience too!

We also have a blog called Writing Gooder that focuses on writing ran by a group of volunteers. Not only is it really informative, but I'm sure other fellow writers will find it enjoyable.

Hi!


I'd like to nominate the Young Writer's Society as one of the best sites I have ever come across, not just for posting writing, but getting helpful reviews on what you've written, and meeting people who also write. I've met some amazing people, and I feel that my writing has become better thanks to them!

Thank You!!

Hello,
I would like to nominate Young Writer's Society for the 101 best sites for writers. After joining YWS earlier this year, I have found it fantastic for getting advice and feedback on my writing, and for communicating with other people who have the same interest in writing around the world.
The site is http://www.youngwriterssociety.com
Thank you very much,
Sarah
