Members Only

You may want to contact a moderator for another reason, but you definitely need to contact one if you:

• Request an Excused Check-In
• Change Your Username
• Change Your Email
• Withdraw from the Community
• Report an Issue

You can contact the moderators for any of these reasons, and any other questions or suggestions you have, through the Membership Management Form.

To join a writing sprint or socialize in a chat-based format, join us on the GYWO Discord! You can start a sprint with other writers, or join one of the scheduled sprints. A full listing of scheduled sprints is available on the Writing Sprints Calendar.

If it’s your first time logging in to GYWO Discord, you’ll need to make sure your server nickname includes your GYWO username, and then wait for a moderator to assign you a pledge level role to gain access to the whole server. If you haven’t been assigned a role in 24-hours, please ping a mod in the #ask-a-mod channel using @MODS.

If you are unfamiliar with Discord, we have a GYWO Discord Walkthrough to help you familiarize yourself with using Discord and the available channels on our server. You might also want to read through our Writing Sprints Walkthrough before joining in for a sprint. If you have any other questions about Discord, please contact a moderator.
