From Guide to Literary Agents:
I'm thinking this is going to end up being a marketing tool for inside the industry rather than out (at least for writers in the MG/YA market, like me) because Myspace already has a huge membership. But it's still interesting to see. I haven't made an account or anything; I have a love-hate relationship with networking sites and I'm not sure how quickly this will catch on.

MYSPACE FOR WRITERS?
This cool new Web site called Filed By looks like a MySpace-like site where writers can access a template page and create a writer profile.
My opinion: MySpace itself sucks, I think, but it is a great site for bands, because it has a media player on it, and allows you to upload video and content and songs and pics easily. If this site can do for writers what MySpace does for bands, then this may be very cool.
