Description
Writing Forums is a free community for writers to connect and interact, that has accumulated over 23,500 members since its inception in 2013.
You can register for free and begin to interact right away in the several online forums the community offers. You can participate in forums related to general writing topics. Other forums are more niched down, such as "Poetry" or "Prose". There are also forums to discuss off-topic issues and to self-promote your writing or website.
The online forums are a great place to ask questions, request advice and feedback, and share your insights and experiences. On the other hand, this community will allow you to meet like-minded authors and bounce off ideas with them.
If you desire to practice your writing skills, you can join Writing Forums contests. There are currently two monthly competitions, besides the one-off contests. Furthermore, you can improve your writing abilities by leveraging the resources list. This growing resources library contains hundreds of useful links and guides for writers. You can sort through the list and filter it to find exactly what you are looking for.
The community is free, but it also has some paid membership options. "Friends of WF" costs $5/month. On the other hand, "Financial Supporter" costs $50/year and "Financial Patron", costs $200/year. Each membership comes with added benefits, that you can check out on the community's membership page.
