Google, years and years ago. Being so young and inexperienced I found a lot of the site's patron's snobbish so I left.

I found this site from an article, by NY Book Editors. They described the 11 Top Writing Communities. I was on writingforums.com, but they are a little too harsh in their critique. I can take criticism, but not when my work is being completely picked apart. I am no "expert." I just want to enjoy creating something.

NEPA but I'd rather be in Charlotte
I used to belong to a writer's forum called Writer's Block but they went away without notice. (Which kinda stinks because my computer fried prior to that and before I was able to retrieve the story I had been working on and sharing there, it was gone.) Anyway, I've been looking for a writing group ever since. I stumbled across this site looking for information on writer's block. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for for almost 7 years.

I was searching for a forum where I could ask for suggestions from other writers of memoir and biography to assist me with some challenges I am experiencing. I used Google to search for a biography forum.

I love this place! Even though people can be a bit snobby sometimes... There's a lot to learn here, though. I think I just found it using google!

I had just finished my prologue and was looking for a place to find someone to look at it. I found this link on some top ten for that kind of thing so I figured why not.

Brandon Sanderson mentioned this site in one of his fantastic lectures available on Youtube.

I found it when I was googling for new agents to send my manuscript off to.

Going deep down the rabbit hole researching how to submit queries, etc. There's a ton of valuable information on this forum.

I was walking through a dark alley and saw the AW website featured on a wall. Strange I thought. After checking with the FBI, I decided it was legit and joined.

Just kidding. I'm a writer, author and publisher. So I THINK I joined to kind of keep a pulse on what's important to writers. Not sure how much time I'll spend here but..... I like the voice AW gives to writers. I salute you.
