Election post
My first attempt to write was when I was just 3, and I never stopped since. Since then, I amounted to an array of projects, notably the "Noosphere" which many of the members are familiar with. I have been a part of various writing communities, notably, a big community of teenage writers on Instagram. There I learned the value of advertising your project via social media. Gradually, I changed my writing from my native language, Russian, to English. I have served as a social sec to society and attended nearly all feedback sessions. This taught me our external needs and effective communication with our members. Our society garners an immense talent, and I firmly believe it needs to be shared. I have three main ways I would change our society based on my experiences:
- To diversify the events and increase the strength of the community. Have group writing sessions and invite experienced writers and literature experts as speakers for workshops
- Increase the export value of our talent. Have monthly "Writer's Block" issues, not necessarily centred on one theme, increase external advertisement and offer our writers for other society's projects such as FIlm and Drama soc
- Diversify the international languages that we employ. As a bilingual writer, as some of our members are, I feel the need to celebrate the richness of languages. I would collab with societies representing the respective nations of our writers to encourage participation and explore possibilities of more than just English
