Yes, if you enter prestigious contests. You can also make your own blog/website to post your writing. Your extracurriculars would be the awards you win from having your work published/winning medals. You can also look at essay contests which I didn’t list here but just a quick google search will find some.
CONTESTS: there are SO MANY but these are the most prestigious
- scholastic art and writing awards
- apprentice writer
- youngarts
- adroit journal
MAGAZINES: submit to magazines like
- scholastic
- teenink
- locust
NEWSPAPERS: if you write an Op-Ed it could be published
- newsday
- nyt
- washington post
- any local newspaper!!
BLOG:
- use wix or blogspot to make your website for free :)
Wix and squarespace is another website template you can use. Many options just have to pick the style you like.
Crsgo mentioned wix @hraj but I’m pretty sure squarespace costs money. I’m not sure tho so I didn’t mention it
thanks guys for your help!
of course!
Agreed also Wordpress is a good website too
