Welcome and Happy New Year Crass Writers!
Thanks for joining us for our first writer’s workshop of 2013. If you are new to these, it is just an opportunity for the Crass writers to exchange ideas, get feedback, and ask questions about writing for Crass. A special welcome to our Crassparenting writers; we are glad to have you.
Before we get started here are a few tips:
- If you need an author’s account please email [email protected] so we can set you up.
- Please use social media to promote your articles, we want new people to see what we are doing here. This is becoming increasingly important for our success and we can talk more about it below.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The admins and editors here want you to be successful. We are always available to give you a hand.
- Please give each other feedback on the ideas people post below. This only works if we work together.
- Write what you know and what you are passionate about. Look around your life and your community for interesting stories and topics.
- Edit, edit, edit. You not only want the piece to have proper grammar and spelling before you move it to the pending queue, but you also want your post to be the best it can be. You can always ask the admins or editors to read your posts and give you feedback if you want it.
- Try collaborating with other writers. We have a lot we can learn from each other and some of our most creative posts have been group efforts.
As writers, you are the backbone of this site. We are extremely proud to have writers who make us laugh, challenge our assumptions, and teach us new things. We have been lucky to have some great writing here and we want to see that tradition continue. Thank you all for your hard work.
