Who we are

YAWN stands for Young Aspiring Writers’ Nonprofit. We are a group of young writers and proofreaders from 19 different nationalities all around the world. Our mission is to write immersive, compelling stories, which point out and allegorize problems in modern society. We are currently focusing on refugees & the aftereffects of colonialism. Through our writing, we hope to not only raise awareness of these issues, but also fundraise for the UNHCR, and aid refugees everywhere around the world. Specifically, our goal is to fundraise $2000 USD before the end of 2024.

Our main project

First story

Description: Ciana has spent her entire life fighting. Fighting to survive in the unforgiving land of Serena. Fighting to be free from the Kankoki’s oppression. However the battlefield has taught her that relying on the gods for help is futile. Maru spent his entire life believing. Believing that one day, he would be free. Believing in the benevolence of the Gods. Holding onto the hope that someday the scattered Veritani community reunites and coexists peacefully with the Kankoki. Apsat had spent his entire life giving up. Giving up his beloved sister. Giving up the last spark of his his morality. Serving the Kankoki’s royal house he wants nothing more than freeing his sister who might be the key to the conflict. Sectin has spent his entire life studying. Studying the language of the Kankoki to wield his words as weapons. Studying politics to pave the way to independence for the nationless Veritani. Now, this unlikely bunch must come together: to defeat the tyrannical King of the Kankoki, to gather the hundreds of thousands of Veritani who have lost their homes, and finally to ensure peace within the continent.
