About Young Writers Project

A FREE ONLINE COMMUNITY OF TEEN WRITERS AND VISUAL ARTISTS

 

​Young Writers Project (YWP) invites all young creators – 13 to 19 years of age – to join the YWP community. Sign up for a free account and explore a world of creativity with other teen writers and artists! YWP is an independent nonprofit that started in 2006 with a mission to inspire, mentor, publish, and promote young writers and artists.

Our website, the heart of YWP, is designed and intended specifically for teenagers, 13-19, who make up the majority of our online community. All new accounts are reserved for this age group. Younger account-holders who joined YWP before April 2024 are welcome to stay on the site, but new accounts for those 12 and younger will not be approved. We encourage younger writers and artists to keep creating and come back to us as soon as you turn 13!
