i LOVE that idea!

love that idea as a young author

I tried something like this with my publishing house and website, Long Shot Books. With the opportunities on the internet, there are a few ways to go about it in a relatively easy/cost efficient way, depending on how you choose to go about doing so. For my own writing and creative projects, I just use public Google docs anymore but that isn't nearly as fashionable presentation. Personally, I think a website like your own but with the content native to the site would be the most efficient approach.

Oh yes! this is an insanely creative & innovative idea & I’m absolutely intrigued. I think I’ve possibly got a few ideas I could list off that may be of value! • Creating an app of some sort that could host this amazing type of space & content with areas of submission, communications… absolutely anything your going for, I feel like there would be some lovely tech savvy entrepreneur that would love to help you with something like this! • Have a place on your website (or even a new website) for people to submit their art/media & have them published into newsletter or magazine form each month or so… (this could be downloaded or made into physical copies & either free or sold, either which way) • Maybe hosting mini art showcases or pop up galleries? Whether that be in person or done online/virtually! • Art trading & swapping is something fun & interesting that also comes to mind, this could perhaps be an additional feature you could add to a platform but still an idea nonetheless! Woww I’m so in love with this idea, I cannot wait to see where this fruitful journey may lead! A safe platform for young/ underground artists to use & grow with, hosted by the one & only Dakota Warren, now this sounds like an absolute dream & we are all here for it. ❤🥂

I love it so much ❤❤

I believe in you😤 keep it up

what's your Instagram account? i'd love to check it out.

You've got this!!! dont let anyone stop you from writing

Sending you sooooo much support! You got this!!!!

Could you share your insta please? I’m also a poet and an artist seeking my audience and success in this field. I feel like I’m in a very similar position to yours right now. Non of my friends from my school are interested in art of any form, and that makes me extremely sad. Creating a helpful network of other creatives is extremely important to stay in this field long term.

Could you timestamp??

Oh my god I'm 15 too and that's so impressive I would love to read your novel one day

This is so sweet. I wish you soo much sucess :))

good luck!!! i hope i get to read your novel one day!!

Holy shit that's incredible! I hope you are immensely proud of yourself, I wish I was at least the tiniest bit of cool and committed you are when I was your age. I love being a beta-reader so if you're looking for any I would be very excited and glad to do so. :) Best of luck to you, you have a fantastic future ahead.

You can do it!!!

DO IT!!!!

I feel so disparaged

Are you saying 25 is old? What?

@@fabianacontreras8227 not at all lol

Thank youuuuuu

i like your username :)

@@y0landa543 Thank you! :)

I can DM u :)

@@kelseytaylor6314 insta? Or where?

Yes absolutely - a lot of things can be done remotely. Irish writers or writers from other European countries can be published in the UK and vice versa, for example - there’s nothing stopping you reaching out to publishers or agents who work in the genre/age group you’re writing for!

NO im 15 and writing the last draft of my novel that let's hope will get published soon!! so it's probably not too early, i was thinking abt this shit when i was 13 too

@@sashaz6109 okok!! ty for the inspiration

If you, as a 13 y/o, could compile a children's book of poetry and market it as "for a child, by a child" not only would it be iconic but I bet it will go so well with the public. There will be lots of parents eager to support young talent. If you've got a knack for rhyming poetry and an imaginative mind I encourage you to start with work geared towards a child, while You're young enough yourself to understand childrens' likes and use that opportunity to practice your poetry and writing skill. And then years down the line at 15/16/17 you can publish a more thorough poetry collection aimed at teens, having more tangible life experiences to allow you better self express. After all, to make more meaningful poetry you need to be a bit older - if you're seeking to make more serious poetry. In the meanwhile just practice your work and collect the poems you've got. If you're gonna go ahead and make a children's book - poetry or not - I highly encourage using that tagline by a child, for a child and put it in a sticker somewhere on the front cover - what this is gonna do is make your work standout in a sea children's books written by adults.
