Hi! I'm Leo Le Blanc, a junior at Crossroads School in Los Angeles. I started this online journal to share my passion for reading and writing. Over the past year, I struggled to find my voice as a writer. I was frustrated with writing contests that only took place twice a year and took months to announce winners. I also found it difficult to get my work out there. So, I decided to do something about it.

At Blank Pages, our goal is to help you find your voice as a writer by giving you a platform to publish your work, improve your writing skills, and read amazing pieces from your peers. I wanted to create a space where everyone has the chance to succeed, without the exclusivity of traditional contests. If, like me, you’ve struggled to get recognition in big school competitions, here’s your chance to win awards, and prizes, and get the acknowledgment you deserve for your writing.

I want to hear from you, so email me with all of your questions comments and concerns. Happy Writing!
