In my post on Monday 4Reasons Why Everyone Needs a Writing Buddy, I mentioned that I and some on my writing friends had started a collaborative blog together. It’s called Young Writers’ Treehouse, and it’s run by young writers, for young writers. We’re very excited about it, and today I thought I’d share a little bit more about it.

Young Writers’Treehouse is run by me (obviously), and eight of my writing friends, which is a lot of people to have writing a blog, but it’s actually a great thing. Because we’ve got so many bloggers, there’s a wide variety of content too. The blog’s only been going for a couple of weeks so far, but we’ve already got posts on reading, analysing stories, plotting, and resources for writing. Hopefully there’s something there for everyone.

But the best thing is, this blog is for writers to feel safe and form a community (we hope!), and we really want other people to get involved, and not just by reading and commenting. We’re eager to have other young writers guest post, and we’d love to have people share their writing on our blog too. What we want is for this blog to become a place for writers to hang out, find inspiration, resources, help, and a place to share their own work.

Young Writers’Treehouse is very, very new, but we’ve got high hopes and big plans for it. If it sounds at all interesting, I’d love for you to hop over and have a look around. Maybe you’d even consider guest posting for us if you like what you see. We’re super excited about this new project, and I hope other people will be too!
