So this is great, we have lots of mentors, but no one to mentor!
Anyone have any genius ideas on how to get new members?

I think sending individual messages to the people who pop up on the introductions page of the Find Your Writing Buddies would be a good idea

That's a good idea. It's just a shame there isn't a function where you can message everyone that are something like in this case joining say since December

Hello! Welcome to Penana! I am from the author mentoring groupand would like to invite you to use it to learn about penana! Have a wonderful day!

Author Mentoring
This society is to help new writers with both their stories and the website.

It is open to both new and old Pens, and I'm hoping to do a buddy system where more experienced authors will mentor the new ones. I will need quite a few members for this though.

If you want to either be or have a mentor, join now!


Sent to new members to inform them about the group.

Responce to question about not knowing what to do.

Here is some basics
see the yellow bar? look at the left side.
The envlope looking thing is messages
the ! is notifications
The quill tip (the shapy thing) is your publications
the notebook is bookmarks or stories you have tagged to read later.

Now the center That is the penana hub. press on it.
that is where you find stories contests groups and writers. the catgories are in the top left corner.

The right side. That little circle with a picture in it is the quick way to your account. the one that says "hub" next to it is your stream it is full of your followers status update contest entries and other things like that the button with society next to it leads to your groups.

I am new to writing.  I have figured out the website pretty quickly, but could always use help.  I I have spent a short lifetime listening to and reading stories.  Now, I'm ready to unleash my own.  For better or worse.  Any help would be appreciated.
