Hello to all. I hope everyone is enjoying their day. So as you could probably tell from the title, I'm looking for writers for a electronic newsletter/magazine I've created called The Curious Observer. Throughout my years at highschool, I started to become aware that young adults have things to say and that we don't always have a place to say it. My peers and I loved to discuss and debate everything from the latest movie to the recent political situation. We often felt that school often got in the way of having these conversations and we rarely had the opportunity to express ourselves. I found myself longing for a place that young adults could be their intelligent selves. So I recently created The Curious Observer. It is a magazine produced entirely by tennagers. We write about what we think about the world in a mature, intelligent way. We are looking for young adults to participate. I came here because I know that nerdfighters are exactly the type of people who would be interested. For more information check out our blog: thecuriousobservermagazine.blogspot.com/ where you can sign up to be a member of the staff, or sign up to be on our mailing list... we plan to have our first issue out the first week of August... and remember that you dont have to be a great writer, we are just looking for teenagers who are curious and are committied to changing the world Keep Thinking!!! -The Curious Observer

For some odd reason, this idea just strikes me as something that I would LOVE to do. I've never been an intense writer, but I really think you guys could take this somewhere.
Sign me up.

I would love to do this, but unfortunately, my english skills are low, because I'm portuguese, and I just don't want to lower the quality of the project.
Awesome idea though, I hope it grows.

Don't worry about not being good at English! This would be a great opportunity to get better at it! And you would definitely not lower the quality... you would raise it it would be awesome to have you part of the team! You could even write in Portuguese if you like haha...

Just skimmed through the first issue. It's not bad, and has a lot of potential, but the editing definitely needs some work. I understand that you want this run by young adults across the board, but you might want to consider enlisting the aid of someone who has more experience in the field. The more your quality of writing increases, the better your chances of being taken seriously.
