Built by Writers, for Writers
We are refugees from a writing site that was overrun with members who clique-voted their way to the top of contests. They seemed to prefer this method over writing well, reviewing articulately, or improving their skills.
So we sighed, rolled our eyes, and decided it was time to launch a BS-free, quality writing site of our own.
It's such a simple concept: You show me yours, and I'll show you mine. Then collectively, by sharing our thoughts and making suggestions, we'll ALL advance our talent and build a community of creative, like-minded souls with a penchant for the written word.
