Sweet, I'm interested.

[Coronary Parasite]

yeah me too...should i reply to em? i'm kinda torn...

[The Bled 13]

I did, I'm looking to pursue something with journalism and what wouldn't be cooler than writing for a magazine? I'm trying to get an internship with my local newspaper ove the summer. My teacher said I need to work on my grammer though... :(

[Coronary Parasite]

yeah i have a spelling problem...

i'm gonna reply when i get back on the computer later..i'm looking to pursue something in music..in any capicty...and i love writing so maybe it'll be worth it

[The Bled 13]

Yeaup, sounds like a good plan..

Anyways, I'm sure they will have plentiful editors.

[GypsyNicole]

For those who posted, not knowing if you should contact us (RisingStarsInc.com (http://RisingStarsInc.com) or not...

You should!

Honestly, I am the Editor, Webmaster, Owner...and the only editor at that. That's why I'm looking for more writers, reviews and such so that I don't have to do a lot of the writing anymore...and I can concentrate 100% on updating and editing the site.

So even if you have spelling or grammar mistakes I am willing to work with everyone. There are spell checkers in most everyone's email programs and in word or works programs. So if you use that before sending your work, that would be less editing needed. But like I said, I do work with everyone.

I'm only 22 now, and I have been doing this since I was 16. I started the site because no one would allow me to write for their sites/mags. I decided to do it myself and make my own mark in the industry. I'm proud of where it's gone and I hope that I can help others move toward their goals. Everyone has to start somewhere...and why not move toward your own goal that you have dreamed of for so long?
