About This Newsletter

*Reading* Welcome to the Noticing Newbies Newsletter! *Reading*


Our goal is to showcase some of our newest Writing.Com Authors and their items. From poetry and stories to creative polls and interactives, we'll bring you a wide variety of items to enjoy. We will also feature "how to" advice and items that will help to jump start the creation process on Writing.com

We hope all members of the site will take the time to read, rate, review and welcome our new authors. By introducing ourselves, reviewing items and reaching out, we will not only make them feel at home within our community, we just might make new friends!

I really was worried at first because this place is so big. It's like a virtual Mall of America. LOL Thank you so much for the newsletter it's great place to start getting to know Writing.com!

         It is big, isn't it? With a bit of time and exploration you'll soon be whizzing around these vast halls like a pro. *Bigsmile*

Thank you for including links to two of Kenzies items. Not just the Newbies, but also the Oldies can be encouraged and inspired by her articles.

Great newsletter! And on another note, I'm glad you linked God's Yard Sale, as I thought it was a very cute poem.

         Thank you, Tiggz. *Heart*

How can a new member get more readers and reviews of posted stories? I'm a very new member with two posted stories but only one review. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
trod

         Hi Trod, and welcome to the site. The short answer is to get involved. Review other people's work, enter contests, and add your item to the Plug Page (under the 'Item Jumps' drop down menu). The more people see your handle pop up around the site, the more chance you have of landing them in to read your items. Best wishes. *Thumbsup*
