Hello Everyone,
I wanted to make a post to present an opportunity I'm creating for youth writers to exhibit their work online.
I'd like to first introduce myself! My name is Brett Stewart; I'm a high school senior in Colorado. For three years, I created and published a professional, entirely student-run publication, 'Strike Magazine.' Strike was a creative outlet for students to have the opportunity to have their creative writing published. It was even a registered company in Colorado, allowing students to deal with real business working with ad contracts in the community. Strike recently concluded its final issue in January, publishing over 200 pages of content in three years. Now, I'm working on a new online publication, but this time I'm reaching out on the internet for teenagers' content.
I'm gauging whether or not there would be enough interest from enough teenagers to launch a new website and company. I want to launch a website devoted entirely to publishing youth writing. Obviously, there are many forums that already offer this ability to youth writers, such as this one, but this would be quite different.
The website would be designed to operate like a professional news website. We would be putting together a staff of writers that collaborate online to release articles on a weekly basis. Everything from politics, news, creative writing, music, movies and reviews to sports, columns and more. Essentially, an online magazine.
Right now, I want to determine whether or not interest in a project such as this is apparent. So, I'd love to hear from all of you as to whether or not a website/publication such as this, would be something that you would be interested in working on.
Below I've linked two copies of Strike for you all to peruse. The first is when the publication was being printed as a forty page magazine on a quarterly basis, the second is when the publication converted to a newspaper and printed on a monthly basis. I've also put my own personal website below.
I look forward to hearing from any of you!
