Introduction

Welcome all to the first issue of the YWS Webzine, Splash! I first want to take the time to thank our editorial board:

bubblewrapped
ElectricBlueMonkey
Éloeré
Firestarter
Galatea
Perra
ZZAP

For their help in getting this project off the ground.

At this moment, I am not sure how often Splash! will be published as it depends on how many submissions we have. However, in the future, only articles will be accepted for submission. Stories and poems will continue to be published in the webzine, but these stories and poems will be chosen by the editoral board from those posted on the forums. If you wish to submit an article, please send it to webmaster@youngwriterssociety.com. Additionally, if you wish to submit an article but do not know what to write about, just keep in mind that it can be about anything. Your article could be an opinion that you have about the capital gains tax or where three-chambered peanuts come from. Your article could be a writing tip that you have, or it could be some historical event/person that you wish to talk about such as the legend of Gilgamesh or your own birth. The article could even be something that you originally wrote for school but now wish to share it with others.

In any case, please enjoy reading the first YWS Webzine. The featured poem of this issue is Wordance by Galatea, which was the only submission not to receive at least one "nay" regarding inclusion in the webzine by the editorial board.

Once again, future submissions may be sent to webmaster@youngwriterssociety.com
