My toes help me find furniture in the dark........

New web sites hurt in another way. Same thing only different.

From my friend. She and I collaborate, encourage and pester each other when it comes to our writing.

My google-fu is strong. I wanted someplace to collaborate with other writers and those at my college annoy me with their 'manifestos.'

I saw this place mentioned quite a few times on the NaNoWriMo forums, so I thought I'd see what it was.

I was talking with the owner of an online editing/proofreading service, and she mentioned that this is a great place to meet people and build a portfolio. I'm trying to get into the editing/proofing business and need some experience doing it before i can start making money!!!

IF you need editing/proofing, I highly recommend victoryediting.com, unless, of course, you want to help me get some free experience :)

I submitted a manuscript to a publisher, along with 4500 other writers :) I was checking the publisher's website and someone commented about this forum... and here I am!

My girlfriend uses this site. It was either Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, but she had tried to stay up late to post as soon as midnight came. Except she fell asleep, so I submitted her messages for her. I took a look at the site, thought it would be interested, then decided to join! I didn't tell my girlfriend about it, and she was quite surprised when she saw my account here. :3

I don't know exactly...I opened up a bunch of tabs from a bunch of places, but I only looked at them later, and AW was one of them. :) I think it was from NaNoWriMo somewhere, though.

I will be defaulting to what seems to be the most popular answer here. Except it was bing. Not Google. I do not like Google.

I found AW because I was researching Publish America (yuck!). Glad I found this place or I would have made a huge mistake.

Wow. I don't remember.
Though, I probably found this site from doing writing research--that or Googling writer websites.

Google. I was procrastinating when I should've been writing and searched 'Beta Readers' - this was one of the first sites that came up. I had a look around and liked the community so I joined :)

I found this site when I did a search for advice on contracts for short stories.

every time i did a google search trying to find out whether a publisher was worth submitting to, a thread from this forum came up with reviews of the publisher. after a dozen separate times of this happening, i decided to join.

I was doing a search to learn about Duotrope and found J.W. Alden's "ten alternatives" article that included this site.

gday. If I'm here I must be new. Found this through Harper Voyager digital submission update comments while looking for those who had received replies. You guessed it, I'm one of the 4563 hopefuls waiting waiting waiting ....
