SFYS is Growing! Join us!

SFYS has reached the point where it can no longer be a one-man-band organization and I invite you all to share a bit of your time and skills to help this community keep growing and being a resource to Utah County writers.

If we all do what we can, this big job is very doable.  What I am asking is that we each look to see what interests us and what is within our skill set and commit to that area of interest as a part of the administration of Speak For Yourself Open Mic.

For example, being on the host/MC schedule generally means committing to attend one Thursday a month (the commitment will be less as more hosts sign up).

Another opportunity is to write articles or submit creative work for the blog and/or help recruit others to do the same (and format and post the content).

Another opportunity is to regularly update the SFYS Instagram.

Another opportunity is to research free advertising opportunities and pursue them (for example, we are on many of the local online event pages but not all of them and the listings do expire eventually and need to be updated).

Another opportunity is to coordinate educational outreach with Utah County Schools or other arts organizations.

Another opportunity is to recruit features and/or make fliers.

Admin opportunities can be found at the SFYS Open Mic Admin group page, which is a public discussion page on Facebook.  Anyone can post ideas for how to help SFYS grow and if a posted opportunity is something you can take on, reply to the thread.  I look forward to working with you!  You are wonderful writers and I feel tremendously lucky to be a part of this writing community.
