GoStartABlog’s Young Writers Scholarship
GoStartABlog was created as a way for us to give back to the writing community that has given us so much over the years. Writing has given us the freedom to do what we love every day and we share all of our techniques with others through this website.
All of our years of experience have gone into turning this website into one of the top resources for new bloggers. We have been able to help hundreds of people start their own blog and are ecstatic to offer the Young Writers Scholarship to help the next generation afford education.
