Why do you want to be a mod?
I want to be a mod because I am passionate about helping others and keeping groups safe, I moderate several successful groups and I created The Realm of Books and have kept it safe and without drama. I am kind and resourceful and will go out of my way to help others, I love suggesting things and helping others so I believe my passion will be a great help, I am consistently active and a genuinely trustworthy person.
2. What do you have to contribute to the group?
I can contribute my very best care, I will contribute all my personal qualities and won't be a mod that consistently ignores its members. I will be constantly looking for feedback and will always be interacting, I won't be lazy and I am honest and loyal.
I am a very hard working person and will always put the groups interests first.
3. This group is dead at the moment, list a couple specific ideas that could be used to revive the group. (please don’t just say “read-a-thon” or “reading challenge”!) If you are not selected, we will not use it, or ask for your permission to use it.
I believe some polls, book nooks, or review contests would be great ways. At Christmas, you could do a KK Challenge involving giving someone else a list of recs they created (the mods will choose who to send it to) and that person tries to complete the prompts. Little competitions such as The Last One to Post could be held every month with a certificate created for the winner.
A great idea would be to contact members of the group and ASK them what they WANT. To me, the members voices are the most important.
A topic to suggest things to the mods or ask the mods things will go a long way and establish a helpful partnership.
4. At the moment, look up your total number of comments in the group. How many?
This will be my 1st on my new account
5. How active are you on Goodreads?
Basically every day and lets face it, I try to be active even with strict parents so I really shouldn't be on here right now!

Place for recs and/or music recs

Places to share tips (like how to be more climate aware etc)

10. Are you able to join a Google Hangouts chat with all of the other moderators to discuss things for the group? If not, then a private Goodreads group?
Both works for me.
11. Are you a moderator of any other groups? How have you contributed to them?
On my old account, I modded The Booked Society (not on my new one though.
I created The Realm of Books which I contribute to by inviting people, sending out messages and always coming up with new ideas. I always ask the members for feedback when I come up with ideas.
I mod Books and Tears and when the head mod deleted her account, I was the temporary head mod but then she came back.
I also mod ranting after midnight and theres so many of us so we basically try and keep the group active.
When Books and Tears hit 100 members, the 100th member got a certificate, so did the 50th member of The Realm of Books.
12. Do you believe in standing against discrimination of any kind?
Yes, any kind.
13. Lastly, what do you value in this group?
Kindness, Respect. I value people standing up for what they believe in and saying what they want and people valuing what one another have to say. We are the youth, we can make a difference.

-We could ask members (or non-members) to come up with and vote on some of there favorite activist quotes. They could be from books or from real life situations.
