Resources for Young Writers

December 11, 2007 by Lillie 

A teen writer e-mailed me after she read my post about the EPIC New Voices writing contest for middle school and high school students.

She asked about resources for young writers. So I’ve been on the lookout but only recently came up with some good ones.

Georganna Hancock at A Writer’s Edge introduced me to Writing magazine from Weekly Reader, a favorite school days memory for many of us. Students can submit their writing to the Word: the Official Blog of Read and Writing Magazines, which also offers writing advice.

A recent post on Becoming a Writer Seriously suggested Fictional Worlds as a blog that is inspiring and informative for young writers. Posts include writing advice, experiences, and sample work.

I’d like to offer more resources for teen writers. Please share any Web sites, blogs, or other resources to motivate and educate aspiring young writers. Thank you!

I don’t remember but 2 days ago I saw a site which makes you perfect in writing 100 words exactly, with sense in it. Surely I will provide you that link as soon as I find it.

Lillie,

C. Hope Clark offers several newsletters. One is Writing Kid. There are contests and markets listed and great articles for young people of various ages. It’s a great resource. You may already know about it but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Young people getting excited about writing (or any productive activity) excites me to no end! I commend the young girl who wrote to you and pray she is very successful with her written work!

Smiles,
Michele
