Survey for interested members.

Thank you for your interest in the Newbie Academy Group!



If you have not done so already, please leave a note stating that you would like to join in the
"Newbies Academy Registration - OPEN" Open in new Window.


We will endeavor to help you to the best of our abilities.
Please note, though, there are some expectations on your part which we would like to share.



*Burstr* Ask lots of questions!

There is a lot to learn about WDC! We are here to help, but you must ask. Don't be shy!


*Burstr* Participate. Be a risk taker.

Yes, it can be a bit nerve wracking at first, but take your time, and slowly try new things. The NAG purposely offers Challenges to help teach new skills in a supportive environment. We love to see our members fill their portfolios up, and give & receive good feedback. Our aim is to help you become an active member of WDC. However, you must do your part. *Smile*


*Burstr* Have fun, interact!

WDC is a community. It is a great place to make new friends from all around the world that share the same interest in writing. As you begin to explore, you will find a plenitude of fun and interesting contests, activities, forums, groups and challenges. At times, it can be overwhelming! *Bigsmile* However, the frequency and manner of how you get involved is entirely up to you


*Burstr* The main reason you have joined the NAG is because you are interested in learning how to navigate WDC, how to write a review, and how to improve your writing skills.

We are here to help, but there must be some evidence of effort on your part to accomplish these goals. There are a great number of resources that have been developed and are designed to assist you. Please take advantage of them. You will find those on the Members' Forum.
