It's here! It's finally here! The 2010 edition of the Young Writers Literary Journal:

For Authors
If your work is appearing in the Journal, then you have two copies in the mail for you.

For Everyone
Right now, the YWLJ is only available on Lulu. That will change in the next few weeks as it begins to show up at online booksellers across the globe. However, I hope you'll buy it from Lulu rather than anyone else. Why? Because Lulu shares a larger amount of the revenue, and this Journal cost one mighty pretty penny to put together!

The retail price of the book is $14.95 (US), and $9.95 as an e-book. If you cannot afford it, no worries. There are couple of ways you may be able to get it for free. The first is by requesting that your library purchase it. Most libraries have purchase suggestion cards, and some even have forms online where you can request books. The second is by participating in a special contest this April. Ten people will be selected through the contest to receive a copy of the YWLJ.

By the way, if you have a relative that doesn't really mind spending money, you can always suggest that they buy, say, a dozen copies...

The first one has been sold! I don't know who bought it, but yay!

lol Nate! When I get around to buying more copies I'm getting 3. One for a friend and two for relatives. (The two copies being divided between me and my mom...) I'll be sure to buy them from Lulu!

Woot!!

Do they have information about the site on the inside? Would they be useful to purchase and distribute as advertising in this way?

I guess I've never seen a literary journal so I don't know what kind of introduction comes before the pieces.

I was so excited when somebody posted a link to this on facebook. Thanks for all your hard work, Nate; I can't wait to see the finished product!

I am so buying like...ten copies!!!! Just because they are from this site.

Oh YAY! This is really exciting.

Bought.

Can anyone state which stories/poems have made it in. (Would have loved to be featured, but among so many talented people, that is a wish I won't have seen come true (At least this year ))

fading-dream >> topic60463-15.html Scroll down for the list of contents. People were allowed to submit their work in around January 2009, and all the included ones have been chosen out of the submissions.

Is there going to be another one? How do you select people's work?

Maybe, and the chances increase the more people buy a copy. So if you really actually want to see another one, buy a copy!

How are sales going so far?

Not everyone's! That would be too big. But a bunch of members are in.
