Our little secret
We like to think of yeah write as one of the best kept secrets on the web. Well, no, actually, we don’t. We don’t want to be a secret at all. Have you told your friends about us? Your writing group? Your classmates and teachers? How about those people at your local bookstore café? We all have a lot to gain from encouraging a diverse group of writers to participate: new perspectives, new opinions, new voices, new techniques. Think about inviting a friend or three to join us this week.
Who’s on fourth?
Tomorrow is the fourth Monday of the month, which means it’s time for the next installment of our interview series who’s on fourth! This month Arden interviews one of yeah write’s most prolific poets: Angie of angieinspired. Come back Monday to check it out!
Bring us your personal essays and creative nonfiction!
The nonfiction challenge grid opens on Monday at midnight EDT. This is the best place on the ‘net to showcase your best writing. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think, and above all: make us care.
Is fiction more your thing?
The fiction|poetry grid opens on Tuesday. We’re wrapping up the final week of the March poetry slam (cinquains) and we already can’t wait to tell you what we have in store for April. (Hint: it could involve Vikings. Or Aztecs. Or Elizabethans.) Keep an eye on the coffeehouse for a special announcement![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
This week’s ultimate question: What aren’t you telling me?
Answer this question in exactly 42 words for the gargleblaster micro challenge, or use it to inspire your submission to the other competitive grids.
Tips for your microstories
This week’s question requires two things for a good answer: a secret and the person who can’t be told. Note we are not asking “why won’t you tell me” – we don’t care why, although you are welcome to tell us that in your answer. We just need to know the secret. It can be an innocent secret: your new boss is a martian. Or a tough one: I can’t tell you that I pushed dad out of the boat.
The microstory grid opens on Wednesday at midnight EDT.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
Winners’ round-up
In case you missed them, you can find last week’s yeah write staff picks and crowd favorites all laid out for you on Friday’s winners’ post. Leave the winners some love in the comments. They will love you right back, we guarantee it.
The weekend’s not over: the moonshine grid is still open. Have something to add? Old posts and new are welcome. No moderation, no voting. It’s a laid-back relaxed kind of place. Drop by, share your work, and while you’re there, visit your fellow yeah writers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
How yeah write works
We’ve got three competitive challenge grids — nonfiction, fiction|poetry and microstories. They are all moderated. Submissions which do not meet our editorial guidelines will not be passed through to the voting grid.
You can learn more about yeah write in our FAQ.
More than just a weekly writing challenge
Sure, the competitive grids are our bread and butter, but there’s more on the menu. We’re building a community of writers who are continually striving to get better at their craft. The challenge grids are one way to do this. We’ve also got the moonshine weekend writing showcase, which is a great place to let loose and try something new, plus the yeah write coffeehouse — the hippest place on the ‘net to find a writing partner, talk about writing or just hang out with other yeah writers. Head barista Nate serves up a couple shots of espresso every week, specially formulated to get your creative juices flowing. Grab a chair and start chatting up your neighbors!
