The Australian’s Roster

The Australian young writer Roster major feature are the people who ensure the Australian young writers run smoothly.

Since 2019 both the Kiwis and International young writers have been standing alone – this means they run their own program and are on the way to forming a self operating Entity.

These are two very different things

Standing Alone is the daily operating of the young writer program. The Entity is that the Kiwi young writers take legal control of the operation.

The Australian Roster

Each of Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 5 have their own team

Coordinators  -   this the person who send the reminders of the due date their articles are due.

Editor  -  edits the articles

Photo selector  -  this person selects the photos for each article  -  sometimes a young writer sends in their own photo.

Week1 1, 2 and 3 are the 18-30 years group, and Week 5 are the Over 31s.

Collegiate

These tasks are undertaken for everyone – not individual week tasks

These are  - 

Late comers chaser  -  this person sends an email to whomever is late with their article  (Mark Tronson).

Facebook  -  these people upload the Australian articles to the Australasian young writer facebook page  (Rebecca Moore).

1-2 line Overview  -  these people send a 1-2 line overview of the article to the Facebook person for inclusion in the post  -  a roster.

Australian Christian media  -   these people each day sends the Australian articles of the day to Christian media  -  Mark Tronson.

Christian Today Australia  -  this person sends the packaged articles for the following week into Christian Today for publishing  -  Sam Gillespie.

The Entity

Well-Being Australia Incorporated (WBA) is the legal Entity as (PSI) Press Service International (the young writers) is one of WBA’s ministries.

It was to PSI – which in 2019 the Australasian Religious Press Association (ARPA) presented their annual premier award The Gutenberg.
