Students in third to 12th grade are encouraged to participate in the Young Writers Project by submitting their best work done in class or outside of school and by responding to weekly prompts that are posted online.
A team of students, volunteers and YWP staff will select the best work to be published in this and other newspapers around Vermont and on vtdigger.org and vpr.net.
To submit work for publication, go to youngwritersproject.org. If you don’t already have an account, start one by clicking on “Register” and filling out the information. Once approved, usually within a day, writers can log in, click “Write” to create a blog, fill in the title and body of the work, and add a genre tag. For publication in the Newspaper Series, click “Yes” and choose a prompt. Under the prompts, fill in name, school and grade. Finally, click “Save.” There is no word limit. The only rule on youngwritersproject.org is that all participants are civil and respectful.
