Write the World Organization

Looking for a writing resource for ages 13-19? I’ve got a great one for you! Since September 2024, I have been volunteering for this amazing organization called Write the World as an expert reviewer and as a shortlisting judge for their monthly writing competitions. I love this opportunity to help young writers and also to read their creative pieces! I love how some sentences or entire pieces stay with me for some time. I’m grateful to play a small part here.  Write the World is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2012 at Harvard University. The organization’s mission is “To equip teenagers with the confidence and competence to change the world, one word at a time. By developing teenagers’ writing and critical thinking skills, we empower young writers to become global citizens and succeed in school, career, and life.” The organization offers free monthly writing competitions, but also has writing camps, college essay reviews, teaching resources, and much more. If you know anyone ages 13-19 or know any educators for this age, please share this great resource!  Watch this short video or visit their website to find out more information or to get involved. I highly recommend this great resource and organization!

I Love to Write Day

Happy I Love to Write Day! This day was founded in 2002 by author John Riddle, a non-fiction and self-help writer, to encourage children writing in schools and even encourage adults to pick up a pen. To celebrate today, you can write a loved one a letter, create a poem, write a short story, start a novel, finish a novel, or write anything. It doesn’t have to be long. Jot down a few words. Happy I Love to Write Day!

National Columnists Day

April 18th celebrates National Columnists Day today honoring the newspaper columnists and their contributions. The National Society of Newspaper Columnists created this holiday on the death anniversary of Ernie Pyle. Pyle was a Pulitzer Prize winner who reported from both the European and Pacific theaters during the Second World War. He died while reporting in Okinawa. A columnist is a writer or editor of a newspaper column. They can write about current events or other topics like love and advice. Celebrate this day by picking up a newspaper and reading a column.  If you’re already a fan of a columnist, send them a thank you note for all they do! Thanks to all those hard-working journalists out there sharing their voices with us regularly!
