groupthing

groupthing is the major new initiative from The Reading Agency. It’s a new online community where young people aged 13 to up to 18 can be creative. Based on all forms of words - magazines, non-fiction, manga, graphic novels, plays, scripts, music (lyrics), short stories, film, games, websites, blogs, journalism, fiction, poetry, spoken word and ‘how to’ manuals. If it’s got words in it then it’s welcome on groupthing.

Young people will be able to write, review, chat and ‘meet’ authors on the site as well as publish their own creative work.

groupthing has been developed with young people - they have been involved at every stage. They have helped to develop the website content and even helped to decide what it is called. It has also been developed with the RNIB to ensure that the site is accessible and that blind and partially sighted young people can also have access to all the new fun!
