2018-19 Community Leaders

Young Writers Project's Celebration of Writing, October 2018, Burlington, VT

Community Leaders are the heart and soul of Young Writers Project!
YWP's Community Leaders are those amazing writers and artists who put so much energy and love into this community that they deserve special recognition. This is a rolling list -- and we always, always welcome NEW Community Leaders! And when Community Leaders graduate from high school, we hope they'll stay on as MENTORS on the site!
Community Leaders are selected because of all they do for YWP, the quality of their own work and the quality and quantity of their commenting on others' work. They mentor other writers, tag work for publication and recognition, lead by example, suggest site improvements, writing challenges and new ideas, generally enlivening and elevating YWP. We are very lucky to have them!
And don't miss the Community Leaders' weekly Newsletter!
If you think you or a friend should be considered for this list, let us know! Contact Susan Reid at [email protected].

Here are your Community Leaders for 2018-19:

    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!

    Eli

    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!
