The blogfest will run from July 1-9. Each day, the participants will write a blog post for the theme of that day and I'll link to them on my blog. Participants have to be teenagers, but there are other things like giveaways that everyone will be able to participate in. The point isn't really to get new followers (thought participants probably will). The point is to for teen writers to find out about other teen writers, find new blogs to follow, make friends, etc. And for adult writers to learn what teenagers think about reading and writing (this will be helpful if you write YA).
You can sign up on my blog through a form if you're a teen who wants to participate. It won't be a huge commitment, since you don't have to post every day, and it will be lots of fun, I promise.
