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!

Newbie Contest and Activity Hosts


Third Annual Newsletter Celebrating Newbies Who Make Things Happen


In January 2012 and January 2013, I started my year of writing the Contest & Activities Newsletter by highlighting members who joined the site the year before.

Continuing that tradition, I want to highlight the members who found Writing.Com in 2013 and who have already started to run contest, have started groups and activity forums, as well as raffles, and auctions.

Seasoned Writing.Com members and newbies alike - go check out those activities and contests. Write for them or participate? Leave them a review how you like the layout of their page. Let those newer members know that their work is seen and appreciated.

If I missed anybody, please let me know in the submission box below. I will highlight your activity in my next newsletter.

Ask & Answer

In response to my last newsletter "Finish Strong" Open in new Window. I got the following replies:

Joshiahis Author Icon wrote: "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.

Hello L.D. I've posted your group here because this NL is about 2013 newbies, but I'll also put it in the features in my next NL.

A*Monaing*Faith Author Icon wrote: this is probably a topic for next year but if I've missed it I'd like a NL to reference regarding 1. making a contest better/clearer/more appealing and 2. being successful during nanowrimo because my little event was bananas in a bad way :'( "AFaith's Unofficial Account BDay Event" Open in new Window.

Good idea. I did at some point write a newsletter about making contest pages understandable, but it never hurts to bring that back.

Angels in my Ear Author Icon wrote: This contest is unique and would be a great New Years challenge. Is this the year you will finally begin finding and recording your family history? What stories are hidden under all the dust in your attic? Can you breathe life into your past, and make your ancestors live again? If you can't, who will? "Roots & Wings Contest" Open in new Window.

If you run it again, make sure you keep the listing updated on "Writing Contests @ Writing.Com" Open in new Window. Since this newsletter is for/about the 2013 newbies, I am not listing it above in the editor's picks. But do let me know if you will keep running the contest so that I may feature it in my next NL.
