Are you looking for a way to encourage literacy in teens? Do you want to support a free resource for teens and young adults that teaches valuable skills in writing and publishing, and also encourages reading great books?
There is a need.
Teens, young adults, and even Middle Grade kids need a place they can go to for real creative writing coaching. For real opportunities in the real world by real professionals. They need a place to learn the business of writing, not just the craft. And they need it accessible from anywhere. They need WordOne2Done.com
Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was 15. He was a best selling author by the time he was 19. He was lucky to have parents who supported his dream and helped him publish his novel and market it. Not all teens and young adults have those resources.
Now more than ever, teens and young adults need a forum where they can hone the craft of writing, be it fiction or non-fiction, short stories or novels. More than that, they need a place to learn the business or writing — because the publishing world is changing daily and only someone in the trenches knows what it takes to make it from word one to the finished product.
This is what we do at WordOne2Done.com. Founded by three prolific Young Adult paranormal authors (Dmytry Karpov, Kimberly Kinrade & Patti Larsen), this site will be devoted to the craft of writing, marketing and publishing, and is specifically created for teens and young adults. We will also be creating a Middle Grade section, a WordOne2Done Book Club and many more resources.
What makes WordOne2Done.com unique is how interactive it will be. Built with a social media platform, this will not just be a blog. We will host live seminars with experts in various fields relevant to the writing and publishing industry, writing contests, opportunities for publication in anthologies and a section of the site devoted to promoting the sharing of work, the discussion of books and the connecting of like minds.
This is about meeting teens and young adults in their world, on their terms and honoring their gifts. It's about giving them resources to grow and fulfill their dreams. And we need your help to make it happen!
We are having a month long fundraiser at IndieGoGo.com to raise $2,000 to create this free website for teens. Check it out, share it with your friends, and help us get this site up and running!
