TYWI was such a great opportunity for me to connect with fellow writers. It's very lonely, working on this craft, but this initiative allowed my to join a community of talented people working towards their own individual goals. It's so inspiring to have people back you up, share resources, and give validation. Thanks TYWI!

I absolutely loved TYWI's 12-hour Write-a-thon! Not only was it jam-packed with interesting workshops, but there were so many different events in it, including expedited submissions for various lit mags and TYWI's own 'Twisted Winter' competition. I learned so, so much, talked to an extremely supportive community, and even submitted to a lit mag for the very first time! I really enjoyed this event and am looking forward to future opportunities that TYWI had to offer.

Coming into the Write-a-Thon as a young educator who was at one point in the shoes of so many of the participants, I found the experience absolutely invaluable. To see so many bright voices connecting over their writing and encouraging one another in their work was really magical and heartwarming. These spaces like the one TYWI created are necessary for young writers.
