Welcome to The Holding Pond!

*Note* This is an offspring of our parent group The Talent Pond .

*Leaf2* ~ *Leaf5* ~ *Leaf1* ~ *Reading* ~ *Star* ~ *Reading* ~ *Leaf2* ~ *Leaf5* ~ *Leaf1*


The Holding Pond is a smaller, more personal group that we have designated for our new and less experienced "fisher-people". Wink We need a place to "hold" all our little fishies and help them grow, until they are ready to venture out into the wide open waters of WDC and The Talent Pond . This is for anyone, teenagers through adult, who would sincerely like to improve their abilities or seek assistance in improving their writing skills. We offer a variety of activities to help each author develop and grow at their own pace.

All services are offered at no charge to you. Remember though, time is valuable and our volunteers have offered their time to help you grow, to offer in depth reviews so regular participation is not only expected, it is required. Please do not ask to join this group unless you sincerely want to participate. Any member that does not participate on a regular basis will eventually be removed from the group to allow the focus to remain on members that do. Most, if not all, of our activities and forums will be restricted to participation by group members only.

The Holding Pond Mentorship Program

Looking for more one-on-one type of attention?

We have a diverse and fun group of mentors that would like to offer you advice and give you an honest opinion of your writing. We are not professional writers but we are experienced readers. We have areas of excellence like many other people and we would like to help you feel more confidant by pointing our YOUR areas of excellence. Do you know what your strong points are in your writing? What about your weak points? Do you want to improve? If you are interested in this type of feedback then take a look at our mentors by clicking on the link below. All bio's may not be showing at this time. Therefore I have also listed their names below.
