New? Start here!

Welcome to Go Teen Writers! I'm so excited you've found us. Go Teen Writers exists to provide encouragement, instruction, and community for teen writers. (And even if you've left your teen years behind, we'd love to have you join in the fun!)

You can find out more about me (Stephanie) and the contributing writers for this blog here.

If you're coming across terms you don't recognize - POV, WIP, MC - you can look at this handy glossary of terms that Jill Williamson made for us.

If you're wanting to meet other teens who love writing and stories just like you do, consider joining the Go Teen Writers Facebook group. It's a private group where members talk about their stories, help critique writing, and encourage each other.

Here are some of our most popular posts:


We also send out a monthly(ish) newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.

    1. We don't have a place on the blog for it, no. But there's a great community on the Go Teen Writers FB page and there are usually lots of people ready to read for each other: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goteenwriters/

  8. I've been to this site before and was very intrigued by it. I think it would help with my writing and possibly boost my confidence. I tend to think I have good ideas but not sure how good I am technically. - MJ

  10. Hi, I recently started a writing blog, and thought maybe this site might be of some help! I'll have to have a look around. I am an aspiring writer, and will take all the outlets for writing help I can get.

  12. I clicked on the 'you can find out more details about our writing contests here' link and it told me that the page I was looking for didn't exist...is there any other place I can go to find out more information? Also, I just wanted to say thanks for making this blog. It's rare to find writing advice aimed especially at teens.

    1. Thank you for letting me know! Yes, we've had some changes to our contests, so I took the page down. I didn't realize I had linked to it here. Thank you!

    1. Hi Stephanie! Wattpad is a popular one, if you're just wanting to put some stuff out there for feedback. http://www.wattpad.com/

      YARN is a literary magazine that takes submissions from teen writers: http://yareview.net/

      We don't have anything specifically set up for it on Go Teen Writers, but in the Facebook group, people often ask if anyone is willing to critique for them, so if you want a smaller group, then that can be good too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/goteenwriters/

  19. Hello!
    I love to read, write, and Writing class but don't know if writing novels is really my "thing". How do you know?

Disagreement is welcome. Rudeness is not. Speak your mind, but be considerate of each other!
