The development of an online novel,
short story and poetry publishing
blog
During the discussions, it was
apparent that the youth did have an
interest in writing short stories. This
was supported by the ground survey,
with more than half of the participants
expressing a general interest in the
literary arts (figure 4).
The development of an online
platform creates a channel for youth to
gain recognition and to legitimize
their work- be it in novel writing,
short-story writing or poetry writing.
It is hoped that individuals will be
able pursue both novel writing and
poetry writing as a passion, or simply
for leisure. To ensure the efficacy of
this platform, (measured through the
number of submissions, views and
shares)
partnering
with
other
organisations, like the Association of
Singapore Tamil Writers, is proposed.
This will ensure a collection of
original user generated stories and
poem in the long run.
