Invitation to Submit to The Newgrounds Writing Anthology 2

New Topic Respond to this Topic

I've submitted my story. If it's accepted, I'm certain that changes and revisions will come up when we workshop it, but for now I'm very happy with its "final" form. Can't wait to start working with others on their stories and get this thing published!


How's everybody doing with their writing? While we wait to hear back is there anybody that needs some feedback on something else they've been working on? every other writing group I've been a part of has been pretty hands off but it seems we have a lot of eager writers here and I would love to be more involved. edit: i just realized I should browse the rest of the forum to look for this info, please disregard

I actually am looking for feedback on the story I submitted. PM me if you want to see what I have.


If I offer to help you in a post, PM me to get it. I often forget to revisit threads.

Thanks for the update. :)


FWIW--I am up for critiquing people's work and getting mine done when the workshop phase comes, if mine is accepted. . .


Even if it isn't, I am willing to help those who had turned in something that got accepted. ^_^; Got quite a few years of writing under my belt, beta reading, literary analysis and some professional fiction writing / playwriting chops through undergrad uni, so I might be able to help sift through things as best I can, in taming purple prose, or filling / questioning plotholes and whatnot.


Just hit me up if the help is needed. My PMs are always open. ♥

This got frontpaged a few days ago but I thought I might as well post it here too! I made an illustration to accompany the short story I submitted last month.


It's awesome seeing this happening again after all these years. I still have my copy of the first writing anthology pride of place on my bookshelf. Good luck to everyone submitting!

Hey guys! I'm a writer also interested in helping others with their submissions. Originally, I wanted to submit an entry to this but can't really seem to find the time. However, I really have a talent for helping others bring their stories to life and articulating what works and what doesn't, and why. Feel free to PM me!


Thanks for all the effort in setting this up :)

Good morning/afternoon/evening,


Checking in to see how the progress is coming along. I have no idea how the etiquette for something like this goes so please forgive me if I screwed up in asking. Thanks for your time!


Good news: I've started reading your pieces and even let some of you know their status

Okay news: Still got a lot to get through

Bad news: We need more submissons if we want to fill a book. People who've been watching from the sidelines, this is your chance!

bit short stories and poetry! I’m receiving a surprising amount of script but they are not very well formatted a lot of the time, so they’ll need a lot of work on my end to just get them to be readable.

Do song lyrics count of they are "poetic" enough?

They should be, right? After all, can't song lyrics be considered as poems that happen to have a melody attached?

I've sent two of my song lyrics to this anthology. I hope I'll make it.

I wish good luck to all participants! :)

If poems are in order, or any extra writing, just shout again. I can maybe pull something out or think about new material to help add to the pile if we're still short...


However, here's to hoping more people join the fray beforehand. :) I'd love to read what people are submitting to this.

I've submitted a foreign language poem(a Romanian one) with English translation. I hope I'll submit more material to this anthology.

Just sent an old poem of mine. Hope it fills some space if accepted.

@EKublai


I sent a couple more of my manuscripts over to you via e-mail.


Hope they can help in filling out more space... Let me know if you've received them. :)

i submitted some poetry!! im surprised not many people submitted some. i thought it would be the most popular since its kinda easy. i was thinking of submitting a short story but i had a huge brain rot when jotting ideas down for it.


Seeing this thread popping up again actually reminds me of something! @Ekublai , were you able to send confirmation to folks when you received their work for this project? I don't think I got a confirmation after sending my poems in a few months back, just wanted to make sure nothing got lost in the shuffle. Thanks!
