A special THANK YOU to each and every Leader of the Paper Doll Gang. This trophy belongs to all of you.
Hannah
 This project was designed to help you succeed in your writing aspirations. You will find all of the leaders here are friendly, encouraging and helpful. Our goal is to help you with your writing, and to guide you through the vast world which is WDC!
 The project consists of a 2-month time period in which you will learn many things. Depending upon what you already know or don't know, you may find some or all of the items listed below to be helpful. All students that complete all challenges, reviews and other mandatory events on time will be invited to join our grad program, which consists of another month of intensive study. This program is fast paced and demanding, and it is only recommended for over achievers.
 You will also receive friendly, encouraging and helpful reviews. You will be matched with another Newbie Pal and a Leader Mentor, enter contests, win prizes, make new friends, learn how to be an awesome reviewer and most importantly WRITE, WRITE, WRITE!
 Each of the leaders listed below is here to help make your WDC experience more enjoyable. Please don't ever hesitate to drop them an e-mail for whatever reason, they are here to help you! You can also post any questions you have in the Student Lounge.
Testimonials from our Newbies:
Excerpt from Shhh, Meeple is NaNo'ing.. ![View meeple's Portfolio. [Offline / Private]](http://imgs.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/costumicons/ps-icon-typewriter-40.gif "View meeple's Portfolio. [Offline / Private]") 's Graduation Speech:
What is a paper doll? A string of one-dimensional paper human-like figures.
Why then is this group called the Paper Dolls? I have never asked, but have come to my own conclusion about that. Paper Dolls are created by an artist who must pay attention to details in order to make sure that each doll is connected securely to the rest of the chain. Once created, the line is unique, linked forever, all alike in at least one aspect, the scissors that helped them take shape.
We are the Paper Dolls. Each of us was shaped by the leaders of our group and so we are similar, but as we color ourselves in, with our writing and our experiences, we will also be unique within the shape we have each been given.
We are a chain, forever linked.

If you have any questions about any of the assignments or any other questions about the program, please do not post them in the Challenge Forum, but you may post them here in your Student Lounge.

The sooner you get it in, the more help you will receive. This is a wonderful learning experience for all those wanting to learn how to get published. Kathy has worked very hard on this, and I would appreciate a great turnout from the Newbies as well as the Leaders too. Thanks. Hannah
Mandatory
We have partnered with the Rising Star's Program for an exciting new project. You will be doing reviews of entries in a new monthly short story contest for young writers. The contest is open to WDC members who are twelve to eighteen years old. The reviews they receive from the contest judges and the review team (of which you are a part  ) will help these young people explore new levels of creative writing and grow in their craft. The contest link is below, and your job as reviewer is posted on the Review page. You will be working with Sticktalker and NaNo-Nicki D .
 Once you have completed the class and graduated, you can still be a member of the group, but then it will be your turn to help a Newbie out by reviewing, encouraging, or just being their friend! We will also add you to the Alumni Page, so you can stay in touch with everyone, and we will be posting achievements, running contests and other items of interest here as well.
Times and dates may change. Many of our Leaders have families and jobs or other things going on in their lives just like you, so we offer them a little flexibility.
I would encourage all of you to thoroughly study the following six links to help you master these skills.
Since "Helping Hearts," is one of our "Sister," groups, if you are in a reviewing mood, stop by here and help clear the board.
Create a multi sig with all your groups, and earn GPs from all.
Don't let reviews discourage you!
