Articles by YOU and for YOU

Shannon Dittemore is the author of the Angel Eyes trilogy. She has an overactive imagination and a passion for truth. Her lifelong journey to combine the two is responsible for a stint at Portland Bible College, performances with local theater companies, and a love of all things literary. When she isn’t writing, she spends her days with her husband, Matt, imagining things unseen and chasing their two children around their home in Northern California.

I hope your weekend is kicking off splendidly. We have some fun news to share with you today.

In an effort to encourage your writing and to expand your skill-set, Go Teen Writers is calling for article submissions. That's right! We want to feature your best writing advice on the blog.

Here's what we're looking for:

Articles written by you (there will be no age limit for this submission)

 

Articles that encourage and/or instruct teen writers

 

Articles that are less than one thousand words

We realize that while some of you may have already written articles about the writing life--for your own blog or for others'--many of you have not. And that is perfectly okay. This is your opportunity to branch out, maybe do a little research, and share what you know.

Your article does not have to be complete before you can submit an idea to us. Simply provide two to three sentences about your idea on the form provided and if we decide to feature it, one of us will be in contact with you.

We are accepting up to (5) ideas per writer. All ideas can be included on ONE FORM.

And no, we won't ask you to do this alone. This is your opportunity to work closely with a published author. If your article idea is selected, one of us will walk you through the process, editing your work and assisting as you prepare your fledgling idea for flight.

When your article is ready, it will be scheduled to post here on the Go Teen Writers blog. Fun, right?

This first round of submissions will be open until May 31st. That gives you 11 days to dig up those ideas and get the very simple, very user-friendly form completed. After that, we'll review the ideas submitted and contact the writers we would like to move forward with.

Because this is our first call for submissions, we're feeling out the process and will not be predetermining a number of "winners." We're simply looking for fresh content that will benefit the writing community and will choose the ideas that excite us most.  

If you have questions, please ask them in the comments section and we'll get to them as soon as we can.

Happy Friday, friends!
