Young Writers Society

Welcome to Squills, the YWS news bulletin.

This thread is the equivalent of a YWS newspaper, with each post in this thread being a news article. The focus of this paper is on the happenings of YWS at any given day, but members are welcome to submit their own news items. Keep in mind that all postings must comply with the YWS rules.

Submissions will be taken over the span of the day. Tomorrow, this thread will be locked and a new one will take its place. This feature runs M-F, and on special occasions.

Review of the Month Nominations begin!

Hannah recently introduced a new monthly feature, honoring the best reviewer of the month.

Hannah wrote:Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to think back on all the reviews your eyes have wandered over during the past month, pick out the author of the cream of the crop, and send the following form to the aforementioned moderator.

Then, each month we'll recognize the winner of majority vote with a celebratory thread and possibly virtual cupcakes. Scratch that. Definitely virtual cupcakes.

She is currently accepting nominations over PM and will continue to do so until 11:59 GMT January 31st, 2013. Please check the link above for more information about the nomination process.
