Writing.com
We're chatting with Mr. StoryMaster from Writing.com.
********************************************************************
Q: What sparked the idea for Writing.com?
A: We originally started a small site for people to read and write interactive "choose your own adventure" stories online. As a programmer, I was interested in creating the site. We were surprised to see how much participation there was and as the site grew, we could see it needed to offer much more to writers. It's evolved over time to be the Writing.Com it now is.
Q: When did it go on-line?
A: The site was started September 1st, 2000. We're celebrating our 5-year birthday this year.
Q: What is the mission of Writing.com?A: Our mission is to provide a stable online home for writers of all ages and interest, helping them to grow and improve in their craft.Q: What are the benefits of joining Writing.com?
A: All of the benefits are too numerous to list! :-) But a few of the biggest benefits include: Online portfolios where writers can store their work, a feedback system that allows member authors to receive feedback on their writing and our community of writers to meet and mingle amongst.
Q: What do you think is the most important feature of Writing.com and
why?
A: Writing.Com's community is the most important feature. We have the best group of writers assembled anywhere! :-) They discuss a limitless number of topics and exchange ideas in our Forums and they exchange feedback and opinions through our rating and reviewing system.
Q: How has Writing.com changed since it debuted?
A: Since the site started, the site has gone through many evolutions. We've grown from a small site that only offered those interactive stories, to offering over 10 different types of portfolio items, including the ability to create non-interactive writing, such as poetry, short stories and online books, but also images, word searches, forums and a lot more!
Q: Does Writing.com have some new features in the planning?
A: We always have new features in the planning! :-) Our to-do list is miles long and always fueled by member suggestions, comments and experiences. We're always expanding our existing features and adding new ones... of course, the list of upcoming enhancements is secret, so I can't share any!
Q: How do you see the future of Writing.com evolving?
A: Writing.Com's community will continue to grow, offering more writers to meet and more opinions to be had. Our services for writers will grow to meet the needs of a changing publishing landscape, as more content moves online and self publishing becomes more wide spread. We think the future is very bright for Writing.Com and it's members!
