My teenage son is a very good writer. Stories mostly. Any suggestions of what I can do to encourage him or perhaps where he might get some exposure that would encourage him?

I'd suggest the many online writing/blogging sites. A couple that I use--
* http://www.xomba.com/referral/77777906
You can write anything of any length and often get feedback on Xomba if you ask for it. There are writers of all levels of experience there.
* http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=24950
AC is more for posting articles and getting paid, they have forums but they're not so much about giving feedback on writing.

He's gonna give Xomba a shot. The Associated one is a bit too much for him right now.
Thanks for your help!
