FieldReport

The wonderful book blogger Dewey clued me in on this great new website I thought you might want to check out.  If you’re interested in an online community where everyone both writes and reviews other people’s writing, check out FieldReport, a site that gives cash prizes to what the community determines are its best writers.  Here is a little more info about the site:

A FieldReport is a true story from your life, of 2000 words or less. Each month, our community holds qualifying contests to determine the best FieldReport in 21 categories, with $1000 awarded in each category. In December, qualifiers will compete for grand prizes awarded January 1—including the $250,000 FieldReport Prize for Experiential Reporting, and a $25,000 TeenReport Scholarship Award. Choose a category below for more details. Also see our Quick Start Guide.

What I really liked about the site is the Teen Report,  which encourages teens from the ages of 13 to 17 to utilize their writing skills.   I only read a few of their reports and thought they were amazing!  So if you love writing and reviewing it’s worth looking into.  Below is a great video about a woman who won $20,000 writing on FieldReport.
