Helium - Featured new members who shine

 

A Zone to Feature New Members.

Every month, thousands of new members join the writers at Helium and learn all about writing for an Internet audience. This page is created for them. Each month the best writers are featured on their own special page with commentary to help other new members understand that, in the universe of Helium, they are indeed not alone. These fine examples shine out and will hopefully help other new members to write to an equal standard.

 

Helium gives you the stage to make your voice heard. And this page reflects that you have indeed achieved taking to the stage in style!

Writing on Helium.

New Member comments.

Here is what new members have to say about their Helium experience.

Helium has provided an outlet and inspiration for my creative and analytical writing. In our busy lives, we have become a primarily "Headlines Only" bunch which leaves very little room for the eloquence, beauty and satisfaction of a well-written piece. I have enjoyed Helium's user-friendly platform and am delighted to see the other writers out there stretching and reigniting their passions for writing.   Wendy Stanley

Helium provides unlimited opportunities for the taking ! Elizabeth Gilbert.

I'm enjoying finding my way around Helium, reviewing, and posting articles. It is easy---there are SO MANY subjects already listed you can write to. Just reading other writers' work gives me new ideas every day! -  Susan Chernak McElroy
My experience at Helium has been inspiring.  I stumbled upon an article about parenting using a Google search.  I read the artcile and wanted to respond, so I clicked on "Write" and before I knew it, I had an account and was posting my first article.  It took me a little while to understand how it worked, but once I did, I was publishing and rating for hours!  Publishing on Helium has given me a voice.  I have a blog, but getting new people to read it is quite a task.  Publishing on Helium allows me to work on my writing, share what I know, and actually be heard!  I am glad to have chosen Helium. - Grace Fox

Greetings from Canada! Tomorrow is a big day for me. I will celebrate my two month anniversary at Helium. And, what a ride it has been! This is an excellent site once you find your way around.

Hello fellow writers! I obviously have just joined. I'm looking forward to the experience gained as a member on Helium. I have published 3 articles, but still find I am groping. Can I simply have a page to post to and it be catagorized automatically? I feel I am in the wrong place most of the time. L. Dalton
