Hey, everyone!

As of right now, there are almost 1500 of you, and only four mods. That makes life for us a little tough. As of today, we're looking for our fifth mod, and we'd be interested to see who's up for it.

Things to keep in mind:
♢ Being a mod is a responsibility. You need to be active within the group. If you are named a mod and abuse the privilege, we will remove you as a mod and from the group.
♢ You will mostly be an assistant moderator. We will need your help to clean up folders and forums, but we will also have specific things for you to do each month.
♢ We will count on you to help us out when we get busy. Angie and I work, and Robin's in school, so us three original mods will need some help from time to time.
♢ We're going to need you to follow our rules. This group is already established, and while we appreciate new ideas, we want what works to continue working.
♢ You'll need to answer our emails in a timely manner.
♢ We also are sticking with Goodreads' Terms of Service, so a mod under eighteen years old will not be chosen.

To apply to be a mod, please answer these questions in the comments below. If selected, I (Erin) will contact you for more information and possibly an interview.

message 6: by Kat (new)

Kat Lewis Name: Kate

Age: 23

Do you mod for other groups: No

What will you do as a mod: I would share my ideas, make sure the group runs smoothly, make sure that I stay in contact with all of our members, and work alongside the other mods to make this group the best one!

How long have you been a member: Not long, but I can tell I will love it!

How many comments have you made: Not many because I did just join. However, I pride myself if being an active member in the groups I join.

Favorite YA book: Oh gosh, how to pick! I guess right now its Red Queen. That book is staying with me!

Favorite YA author: JK Rowling or Suzanne Collins

How many YA books did I read last year: I read a total of 21 books last year. And about 18 of them were YA. Its mostly all I read.

Why should you choose me: Goodreads is my obsession. I am constantly checking it throughout my day. I think I would make a great moderator because I have a flexible schedule, I am a college student but Im working on my masters in elementary education, so I am free alot. I absolutely love talking to others, especially others who share my love for YA. I know I may be a little old in some peoples eyes to love YA, but I believe that people should not be judged for what they love to read, they should be celebrated because they are reading. I would truly love being a moderator and would love it if you would even consider me! Thanks!

Age: 15 and almost 16

Gender: Female

I do not mod for any other group.

As a mod, I'd like to help organize all of the folders and topics, create new topics, and organize fun events that group members can take part in.

I've been a member of All About YA since December or January.

I post almost everyday.

I have posted a fair amount of comments.

My favorite YA author is Sarah J. Maas and my favorite YA book is Heir of Fire.

I read alot of YA books last year. I lost count at 50 in August.

You should choose me over the other applicants because I'm available for a great portion of the day. I'm also looking for a way to help out in the Goodreads community and being a mod for All About YA would be a great opportunity. Overall, I want to make the group better than it already is.
