We’re excited to be launching own MULYP blog, The YP Experience, in 2019. This blog is meant to share the unique experiences of young professionals in Memphis or from Memphis that have a story to tell or opinion to share for writers of all levels.
What our blog is not is a gossip column or blog to share Who wore it best? Why you think men/women are trash? No thanks! MULYP is not the place for that. We also will not be publishing prose, poetry or fictional works.
