Young Writers Society

Hey peeps,

I want a group of about 4 people for a Poetry Exchange. If I get 5-8 people, I'll run two groups, if I get 9-14 people, I'll run a bigger exchange. For now, I just want a little exchange.

What It Is

An exchange is where you and your friends toss a bunch of work into a pool to review one another's work, and then you pull from the pool to determine what you review.

It's like a Secret Santa. You are assigned someone to review, and then you review them.

What You Need

• You need at least one poem you want reviewed by the people involved in the exchange.
• That poem must be posted on YWS as we will do our reviews for points.
• You must have less than three works in the exchange. I will only accept three works from any one person, no more.
• You need time to review 1-3 poems within the course of a week.

How to Apply

Post in here with a link to your YWS work[s] you would like to submit.
Watch your PM box once you see 4 people have signed up.

Master List

1) BlueAfrica
2) LadyLizzLovelace
3) soundofmind

~will sign up even though I haven't poeted in a while~
~old poems it is~

1. 10,000 Steps
2. Where I'm From (for class) which is probably actually in need of becoming several poems at some point but whatevs
3. Origin

I am sensing a theme here

I will probably end up joining this. Links will be added in as soon as I publish my new poem. And wow, it's been awhile since I did one of these.

1. holiday suicide
2. two reflections of my mind
this one is from circa february 2017 and i kind of forgot it existed until looking in my drafts
3. Live and Don't Die
Flashback to the time when I was committed enough to write fanfic poetry.

Hi I like reviewing poetry and this seems like a good outlet to force me to do it! WOOHOO

1. best friends
2. rotate

I'm going to dump in these two

1. Baby Pictures
2. Daylight Clarity

I see there's already 4 people, is there room for another poet among you?

I think I wrote both of these for NaPo, so they're old but not a ton of reviews on either & room for improvement!

1. When Spring Has Passed
2. False Impressions

the 4 wasn't including myself. You're always welcome Alliyah <3

Can you make two teams and I'll join?

As of right now I'll dump you into the first team until I get at least one other, but I'm going to wait a few more days before I start this.

yo, can i still sign up for this?

Yeah, signing up will continue until monday or tuesday.

Yes!

Alright, here are my three poems:

For you have never done anything

water fire stars

bowing standing flying

The first one barely got any reviews and the last two are the same poem but "water fire stars" is a revised version. They have a lot of reviews already but in "water fire stars" most of the reviews aren't really... helpful, per se. I'm planning on a third draft, so I need reviews that are super helpful. Sorry if you already reviewed.

I won't assign works to people who have already reviewed it.

@Pompadour get your poems in ASAP. Sign up will close when Pompadour turns in poems!
