The relaunched Girl Zone website<br />is looking for teen girls to submit their creative writing and contribute in<br />other ways to the website.</span></p> <p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Girl Zone is a hip and healthy website which provides girls with a chance to<br />voice their opinions. While most traditional media for teen girls only offer up<br />features on beauty, boys and fashion, Girl Zone offers content related to all<br />aspects of your life. Girl Zone re-launched in April with a fresh, fun website<br />with new features such “Mind-Spirit-Me” and “Girls Get Green” as well<br />as a collection of seven regularly updated blogs.</span></p> <p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">One of these blogs is “Expresso,” which is looking for submissions of<br />creative writing from teenage girls like you. Send your poem, essay or short<br />story and it might be featured on the “Expresso” blog! Girl Zone is also<br />currently looking for Movie and Music reviewers and girls to talk up the site<br />on the web and in their communities. There also will be more opportunities for<br />writers in the future. Visit the Girl Zone website to get involved!</span></p> <p><a href="http://www.girlzone.com"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">www.girlzone.com</span></a><br /><a href="http://www.girlzone.com/your-writing/"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">www.girlzone.com/your-writing/</span></a></p> Christen Orbanus 2009-06-30T13:00:34-04:00 http://blogs.camdencountylibrary.org/teens/2009/05/oh-the-places-youll-go-scholarship-opportunity-for-hs-students-graduating-in-2010.html Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
