Young Writers Needed

I saw this in the Funds for Writer's Newsletter and thought some of my readership might be interested:

YOUNG WRITERS NEEDED!
Ever wished you had someone to talk to about your writing?
Ever get tired of the fact that being under drinking age keeps editors from treating you with respect? Now you have a place to go. We've developed a stable of serious volunteer mentors who want to give back to others and help young writers with their stories, poetry, screenplays, or novels.

C. Hope Clark of FundsforWriters.com fame and Elisabeth Wilhelm, published teen writer and editor of Absynthemuse.com, have teamed up to fill a void. Their mentor program gives young people ages 13 to 22 a chance to be taken seriously. This is their way of giving back to the writing community. Using their own adult/teen combo, they set the example for what mentoring can do for young people. Currently, they have 80 willing mentors and 30 eager teens having a ball.

We need more young writers so we can put these mentors to work!
