groupthing
groupthing is our major new initiative launching this autumn. We are really excited about this one. It's a new online community where young people aged 13 to up to 18 can be creative. Based on all forms of words - magazines, non-fiction, manga, graphic novels, plays, scripts, music (lyrics), short stories, film, games, websites, blogs, journalism, fiction, poetry, spoken word and 'how to' manuals. If it's got words in it then it's welcome on groupthing.
Young people wil be able to write, review, chat and 'meet' authors on the site as well as publish their own creative work.
Libraries, schools and other professionals working with young people and reading can buy a subscription to the professional side of the site where they can find out what's going on, talk to other professionals and exchange ideas. It's also the place to launch a group page for your young people.
We have developed groupthing with young people - they have been involved at every stage. They have helped us to develop the website content and even helped us to decide what it is called.
groupthing is launching in November so check back soon for a link to the new site.
