If you’re interested in having a blog post featured, leading a discussion, spearheading a group project, or anything else, send us an email with your basic proposal and we will work out a time and any necessary details. Send your proposal to twentysomethingwriters[at]gmail[dot]com.
We often hear from people who say that they want to participate, but don’t know how. You might want to start off by responding to posts in the comments or participating in the writing prompts. Later you might choose to write a post to be featured on the blog and suggest a question for discussion. You might also choose to contribute a picture or video somehow inspired by writing. Basically, how you want to participate is up to you.
Ways to Contribute
- Discussion Questions: I think we all had a good time with questions this week. Questions should somehow be related to writing. This is your chance to ask other writers anything, so send in your question suggestions!
- Writing Prompts: Writing prompts are a little more open. The prompt might involve writing, and in that way be similar to a discussion question, though the responses will be longer in form. Or, you can ask a question unrelated to writing that will elicit creative writing responses.
- Blog Posts: If you’re considering contributing a blog post, keep in mind that the theme is writing, so we’re interested in any spin you might have on that. You can offer up your expertise on a subject, tell a personal story about writing, talk about your own writing style, etc. Blog posts should be about writing, but there are tons of different approaches you might take.
- Writing Excerpts: Let us know if you’re interested in contributing a piece of creative writing. We’re not sure exactly how this will work, but it could go a number of ways. If you’re interested in getting critical feedback on your writing, then you could specify that, but otherwise we’ll just put it up for readers to appreciate.
- Interviews: Liz had the idea to interview other writers. You might interview a professor, a professional writer, or even another blogger (consider especially those who participate here). Just make sure to get their permission to post the answers, and try to keep writing as the theme of the interview. You can submit interviews in text format or even video.
- Just About Anything Else: Remember that the only criterion is that content must in some way be related to writing. We’re trying to inspire creativity–not stifle it! So, if you have an idea, let us know. You absolutely do not have to stick to the above categories.
