How it works

of the newsletter will choose one (or more) of the roles they will like to complete. They will then create a post following the guidelines of that role. Drafts for the post are due a day before the first of the month and will be sent into the newsletter group chat via screenshots for editing and constructive criticism by other of the group.

The roles are:

Reading/Writing Tipper

This member gives tips on writing and/or reading each month. For example they may create a post about tips for finding the best books, or tips for writing a good climax, etc.

Creative Writer

This member will post their own personal creative writing. They may decide to post poetry, short stories and more. , it doesn’t have to be written on the spot; old pieces of writing can be used. This is also true for the example post in the application.

YA Reviewer

The YA Reviewer’s job is to write an in-depth review of a novel, making sure to include everything the story accomplished, as well as some of its downfalls.

Theme-writer

The job of Theme-writer is to come up with a monthly concept/theme (separate from theme-artist), then in a post, announce the theme and create at least five writing prompts for to follow under that theme.

Informer

Create an informative wiki to be featured in the catalog. The wiki post can be explaining a poetry form, writing form, genre, sub-genre, author, or anything else you can think of.

However, if you’re accepted, you’d be expected to put time into your portion of the newsletter. To apply, fill out the questions in as much detail as you can (the questions can be found in the comment section) and either send them to me (Lynx) or post it in a blog post (whichever works best for you).
