First of all, thank you sooo much for doing this contest. It has given me a chance to write and show my stories to othersSmile.
Second of all, I was wondering if you win the your sroty in the mag, do you get a free copy?
I was wondering because my parents are not going to let me get the GL magazine anymore because of buget things. I will sadly miss the magazine a lot and I was wondering if i DID (though there many very talented writers) I could see it in the mag


 


Hey chica! I'm not positive about this, but I'll check on it! Smile

I want to give the book i wrote to an editor and a real writer like my favs but the thing is im pretty shy and i have no clue wat im doing

 

Hey missy, just to get your name out there you can always submit your writing to writing contests or your school or local newspaper. You could always make a website or blog and post all your work on there. Also start selling your books at your school and your friends school. And don't forget we have writing stuff for you to do here all the time!! Hope this helps ya girl!!!!! Smile

Hey girlie,

We love the response we got to this one (and we loved being able to inspire creative girls to put their thoughts down into words), so we might do one in the future! No word on exactly when though, so you gotta stay tuned. Keep writing in the meantime!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!! Will GL have another fiction contest? If you could tell me I would surely appreciate it. And when will they have a poem contest ? I have alot of poems I have written and I think they are pretty good. And last but not least how do you get a boy to notice even if you have nothing in common? Thank you for all of your help thanks! Jessica




Hey Jessica,

We definitely love the GREAT response we received for this contest - the fact that we got all you creative chicas thinking and writing has made us really happy, so I'm sure we'll try it again sometime in the future Smile Instead of trying to passively "get a boy to notice you," try reaching out to him and getting to know him. If he's in one of your classes, use that as your thing in common - ask him a question about the most recent homework or test, then let the convo evolve into other things. You can also depend on mutual friends to help you make a connection. The most important thing is to keep calm in the convo and always be on the lookout for new talking points - questions you can ask him about himself, related experiences you can share, etc. Be yourself, confident, and warm...and he'll have no choice but wanna keep chatting with ya Smile
