Hopefully I can do this next year when I’m 12! I love looking at all the reviews, writing, and art! In fact, some of my favorite things to do are read, write, and draw!

Do I have to be 12 years old, or can I do it at almost 12? (I’m 11, but I’ll be 12 in April.)

If took me about a week to get a response. It’s not instantaneous (I thought I wasn’t accepted or something but it just took some time)

In reply to: “Hello! I have posted several pieces of creative writing and two reviews without a problem, and I want to post some of my artwork, too. But when I go to make a new post and try to upload an image of my work, the site won’t allow it (it says I am not authorized to upload an image) and the only images I can include are google/bing searched photos, or insert something as a URL. How can I post artwork, and is there any way I can post my drawings without this happening? Thanks!”
Hi sharkgirl25, I saw that your comment got deleted and wasn’t replied to. If you have a picture of your artwork you can copy and paste it into your post. (Unless this is not allowed – this is what I do.) Thanks!

I do not mean to be one of those annoying people, but I submitted my request three days ago and I have still yet to get the email with the information. Let me know if you are still having tech issues and I need to fill out the form again, or you just have not looked at it yet. Either way, it’s good👍🏼
