I live in Lake Havasu City and was wondering if I could still join this club ,as it seems splendid (so far) and I think I would be a great contribute to this as I am an aspiring author (seriosly my life revolves around creative writing,reading, and the Hunger Games) I am the founder and Executive chairman for the newly created LIteracy CLub and its BLog. I can be foun on an awesome website called Teenink and my e-mail address is Mattcarr99@ahoo.com ,I would love to read what you have to ask\answer\write.

Hi Teen Takeover!
My name is Kimberlyn Turner and I’m a junior at York Catholic High School. With graduation only a year away, my main focus for a major is journalism. Because of this (and my love for writing) my aunt referred me to this, and I’m glad she did! I only have a few questions about what I would need to submit:
1.) Should I send one or two examples of my writing? One place on this website says two but the pdf. at the top of this page says one.
2.) Do the writing examples have to be essays or term papers, or can they be a form of creative writing? (I started a novel a few years ago and I still work on it from time to time)
Could you possibly e-mail me any answers? My e-mail is turtlegirl1995@gmail.com. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
