Pen Pals

Content promotion has become as important as content creation. Therefore this group is designed for writers who use Squidoo to promote their writing. If you are a wordsmith and use your lenses to promote your literary work, you are more than welcome!

Do You Qualify to be a Pen Pal?

Pen Pals is designed to be a group of writers supporting other writers. If you create lenses and place lots of "filler" junk on them just to hopefully earn money, your lens will not be welcome here. On the contrary, if you are always writing quality content and interested in participating in a supportive community of like-minded writers, you will be welcomed with arms wide open!

As a writer myself, I know the importance of content promotion. I also believe in the power behind shared information and community. These are the main reasons I decided to create this group. All I ask from members is a genuine interest in contributing to the quality of this group. Check back often, rate each other's lenses, give feedback, and be sure to check out the group discussion. If you find a cool promotional tool, share it. If you have a great success story, tell it. If you are having a bad day because a piece you worked so hard on was rejected, let us know. We are here to support each other because the literary world can be harsh.

If you have any questions about me or my work, be sure to visit my vanity lens.

Featured Lenses

I've chosen this for a number of reasons, but the main one is to give all the writers who join this group an idea of the many ways you can utilize Squidoo's modules to promote yourself and your work.

Featured Lensmasters

To become a featured lensmaster, you must be active in the group. You cannot apply to be featured, it is something I will place on you. If you are always leaving comments and interacting, you will get a featured spot here. Yes, it's competitive, but...

Pen Pals Group Discussion

Here is your space to share your trials, triumphs, general comments, recommendations, random thoughts, and whatever else you feel like sharing. I only ask that you keep it clean, keep it positive, and keep it coming! Also, it is okay to include a link to a reference or lens, but please refrain from spamming. This group is a spam-free zone and I will be forced to take action if you abuse the privileges of a free-form discussion board.
