1. Why I would like to join: I would like to join the Newspaper because I enjoy providing readers with an entertaining story, be it brief or a novel, it is a passion. I also enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and approval when finally posting that long-awaited completed story.

2. Desired section: Stories and Poems

3. My experience: Nothing like a school newspaper, but I have written a couple of award winning pieces for contests within my state.

4. My example: Whispers In The Dark

It seems like you have a fairly good vocabulary, and your grammar is, for the most part, correct, but your example's a bit short imo. Some of your dialogue seems unnatural, and in most of the story, you're telling the reader what's happening instead of showing them.

Ok, I added another chapter. And the point of view I'm writing the story in is called 3rd person omniescient, I think. It's like an all-knowing narrator. It's not first-person. I'm kind of confused with your last sentence.

The story looks great to me, and knowing you, you'd make a great addition to the newspaper.

Good luck.

It's pretty good. Bonum Fortunum!

I have reservations that this piece was very short when you first posted your application, and now you've decided not to complete it because "it's not for you". I trust that once you are a member of Newspaper staff, you will be more consistent and dedicated.

Because of the good quality of your writing, application accepted.

Slashing, I am truly sorry, but I just couldn't find the passion behind that piece. I felt bored thinking of ideas for it.

I thank you, nonetheless, and promise I will be dedicated.

Glad to hear it and welcome to the team.

Any chance you could write a one-off short story for next edition? We seem to have lots of multi-part stories running just now...
