Young Writers Project (YWP) is a civil, respectful, creative place for young writers and artists. YWP encourages, within the bounds of civility, the active exchange of ideas and viewpoints, however, as a matter of policy and common publishing practice, it exercises editorial discretion and will remove from the website any material deemed inappropriate. Such material would include but not be limited to:
- Content that portrays or encourages intolerance, discrimination, violence, cruelty, hate, suicide, or self-harm;
- Language that is threatening, defamatory, disparaging, bullying, hurtful, uncivil, or unkind;
- Content that is not the user's original work. No plagiarism or “borrowing” from other writers or artists. No AI, no fan fiction;
- Posts that specifically identify individuals and might expose them to unwanted attention.
YWP's guiding rule is: Be respectful. This applies to all posts and interactions on the website. Posts that stray from the basic tenet of respect will be removed from the site. YWP reserves the right to terminate any user account without notice if such termination is determined to serve the best interests of the YWP community.
