where am I supposed to put
where am I supposed to put this piece about my grandmother?...I have one...it's on my blog, is it ok where it is?
Horsegirl....
To submit work for consideration for the YWP Newspaper Series your best bet is to copy the story in your blog, create an "ENTRY" and paste your story in the body of the entry.
It's a little cumbersome (and for more info, go to PUBLISH>>Submit Writing in the menu above) and we are going to make it easier next year. But there is a little method to our madness...."blogs" are intended to be "notebooks" or places to share writing, make revisions, get feedback, etc. and an "entry" is supposed to be more polished work that is considered for external publication and may also get feedback from college mentors.
Hope that helps.

Graduation
Is the graduation prompt only meant for speeches or can we post a story about our 8th grade graduation?
Thanks
