Welcome, 826 Digital explorers!
Whether you’re a longtime 826 Digital fan who is hoping to pick up a few new resources or you’re discovering 826 Digital for the first time, we’re so excited you’re here. Thank you for joining us to support more young people to chart their own stories and adventures through writing.
We invite you to think of this guide as an 826 Digital “base camp.” Much like a base camp at the start of a mountain trail, this guide will serve as your one-stop shop for essential tools, resources, and field-tested recommendations to fuel your writing journeys. It’s designed for you to make the most out of the 826 Digital platform, to think critically about how to best incorporate new resources and writing strategies, and to offer bridges between 826 Digital resources and your many ideas—so that you can ultimately chart your own course.
Ready? You can start your journey by downloading the 826 Digital Base Camp PDF, found below.
