YWS News is the latest addition to the Young Writers Society. You can find it by going to "Read / Write" then by clicking on "News & Nonfiction".
What is YWS News?
YWS News is more or less a dedicated non-fiction area of YWS. The main aim of it is to provide a place on YWS where members can share news about local events in their area, reviews of stuff they've read, and their thoughts and opinions on various subjects. I'm hoping it'll turn into a major part of YWS.
How is YWS News different from the Non-fiction forum?
The non-fiction forum is for critiquing. YWS News is only for reading, and people may comment if they wish. So if you want to share your opinion or an article with everyone, put it on YWS News. If instead you are looking for critiques, post it in the non-fiction forum.
Information on Submitting
Like most of YWS, when you submit something, it'll show up immediately in the section you submitted it to. However, for it to appear on the front page, a moderator must approve it. All mods are looking for when approving articles is good grammar, a good writing style, and a well-developed article.
However, even though stuff is automatically added, the piece may later be removed if the grammar is particularly bad or if the piece is poorly written. If this happens, you will be notified.
Some additional notes
Not everything is working yet. At this point, YWS News is mostly done but the finer details aren't there quite yet. I don't think anyone will notice the lack of most things except for the ability to edit or delete your comments. I promise that this is coming, but for the time being, if you submit a comment to an article, consider it permanent.
mwahahaha
