About This Newsletter

There was a day, last week or a decade ago, that you typed "writing" into your search engine. You wanted to show off some of your poems, short stories, or maybe even get feedback for a whole novel. You found Writing.com.
On this site, you found all that you searched for: Portfolio space, helpful reviewers, encouraging groups, style and grammar lessons from peers. Nothing prepared you for the amazing bounty of: Contests & Activities!

Only One Month Until September - Get Ready!


Why would I announce September on the last day of July? Because it means you only have one month left to get yourself ready for a week of writing and activity abandon as your favorite writing site celebrates 13 years online during that first week of September.

Want to run a contest? Special activity? Think about it. Create it. Make sure to post it on the correct pages.

This year's party is going to be awesome. Nobody has told me anything - honestly. But judging from all the fun stuff The StoryMaster Author Icon and The StoryMistress Author Icon have offered us just on any random Monday, you know this birthday bash is going to be off the charts.

Unless we migrate servers. That shouldn't happen since we just finished migrating servers on April Fool's Day. Remember? Yes, it's already that long ago. Now you see how time flies.

So, don't delay. Get your gears turning for some amazing Writing.Com birthday things!

Thank you for featuring the Anniversary Reviews Fundraiser in this week's newsletter. Thanks to your guidance, teaching me (so patiently I might add) how to organize and run a fundraiser, the forum is still flourishing today. Thank you again. "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

You're welcome. Even with a little start-up help with tweaks, it's all you and your energy powering the forum and the raffle.
