Guidelines

Below are links to more specific guidelines for participation in the Young Writers Project. Our guiding rules are these:

• Treat others with respect;
• Put energy into what you do here; and
• Your work must be your own unless noted.

This site has prided itself on civility, restraint and appreciation for each other's ideas and efforts. This, we believe, is what a safe Web site is all about. We are an oasis in the desert of Web discourtesy. And we are, in fact, able to share, disagree and argue with respect. And what we learn is that there is great power to words whispered, to opinions expressed thoughtfully with humor and humility.
