2018 Community Leaders

Young Writers Project is proud to share with you the Community Leaders of this site, youngwritersproject.org.

These artists have been selected because of the energy and effort they put into this community, the quality of their work, the quality and quantity of their commenting and their expertise. Most are long-time members. While we don't identify them by their real names, many of you may, by this time, know who they are and where they come from, but even if you don't know that, you know their work. They hail from around the U.S. and beyond.

You will find these leaders are active commenters, they select work for publication or for the front page, create challenges and some even actively work on special projects, online workshops and on site improvements. We are very lucky to have them. And do check out their work and give them some shine, too!

This is a rolling list. We are always on the lookout for more community leaders! And, yes, when they leave high school, we shift them into mentor status. We encourage them to stay, to continue to post their work and to mentor others in the true sense of the word. Here they are:

    Yes, we at YWP choose the Community Leaders based on what we see, over time, in terms of energy and participation and growth. Also, Community Leaders send us recommendations on users they think should be leaders. Thanks for asking!

    Hi Ayden, The community points figure into how someone gains a larger role on the site, that is the ability to do more things. A Community Leader is the highest accolade for posts, comments and posting of images and sound. That entitles the users to help make selections for publication, create challenges and resources, decide what content gets "Recommended" or considered for Daily Reads.

    Thank you, gg! I'm honored to hopefully play a more active part in this amazing community, though I'm still learning about it and the roles of leaders. Thank you so much to all the leaders who have helped me improve my writing with their helpful, encouraging comments. And of course to you and all the others behind YWP, it's a wonderful site you have here :)

    Woah I just found this post, not sure if it's new or if I've just been blind this whole time.
    I'm graduating from high school this May, and I just... holy cow. 4 or 5 years on this website has affected me so much. I'm scared to grow up, but much less scared knowing I'll still be able to be here.

    Hi! I had a question and wasn't sure which community leader to ask, so I hope it's okay if I just post it here! Is there any way to delete your post and/or to delete your audio? Thanks!

    Hi Eli, yes, you can edit your post and remove the audio and/or delete the entire post. If you have trouble, let me know!
