Submission Call For YWS News!

Nate · 2010-03-25T04:15:21Z

YWS News is almost on the verge of being functional and it's at the point where it needs submissions for me to develop it any further. So, submit to YWS News! The Submission Form At this point, when YWS News opens is really up to you. I can't do much more with it until people start submitting, so it's pretty much stalled at this point. But once around 10 to 20 submissions are received, I can put the final touches on it (and the final touches will only take a couple hours). What can you submit? You may submit anything non-fiction. Anything. It could be a news story about a local event in your area, or it could be an article about how to build a patio. Or it could be an opinion on healthcare reform, or an article explaining healthcare reform. When I say anything non-fiction, I really do mean anything non-fiction. Choose something that fascinates you. Quality of Writing Articles must have good grammar. I can't stress this enough: good grammar is a must. I'm by no means looking for perfect grammar, but I am looking for good grammar. I don't see a category for my article. If you don't see a category, no worries. Just choose the category that you think fits your article best. If I disagree, then I'll move it to the appropriate category or create a new one. If it's a news story or article and you're in doubt, then post it in the 'World' section. Any submission criteria? If you're asking this question yourself, then you're most likely thinking about length. There are no requirements regards to length. It could be 100 words long, it could be 10,000 words long. Most good articles are between 500 to 2000, but that doesn't mean yours needs to be. As it regards other possible factors, all that really matters is that your article has good grammar and is well written. Can I submit something I wrote for school? Of course!

I've got an essay about a fisher that I could submit, but I want to wait until I have the final draft.

Everyone, I think it's safe to say that all things nonfiction will be accepted. Don't worry.

Question: What is YWS news? A PDF, a forum, what?

Thanks!

I'm thinking that this is a chance for the Column Crazy group to go, er, crazy.

You'd think so, but so far I think their 'craziness' is all bark and no bite

How much of an 'opinion' can we rant on?
Can we use pictures? I want to write an opinion column on ridiculous fashions, and use pictures from Vogue Magazine. Can I do that?

Star light; star bright,
It is time to take flight.
Off I go through the dark of night.
All my hopes and dreams in sight.
