How'd You Find This Site?

I searched "message board for writers" or something along those lines on Google and found this pretty quickly. I'm excited to be here. It's been a hot minute since I had anywhere to discuss the craft with fellow writers.

In an online article about ways to improve your writing. This site was mentioned as a great resource for writers. So nice that it exists!

I found this site through what was probably a form rejection from an agent (a very nice one) who listed a few links of places to learn more about publishing.

I also found this site through searching online years ago for writers' discussion groups. I was active for a little bit in 2005 and the beginning of 2006 as TRENNER. Now, I'm back.

Does that mean you registered under two different user names? If that's the case, contact AW Admin to get your accounts merged.

It was the forum/site that seemed to crop up the most when I'd type in querying-esque questions on google. I also see a lot of agents recommending the site which is nice.

I was looking for a place where I could find advice, as an aspiring author but never successful. It's been helpful

I googled 'writing forums' and found a list of top 10 writing sites, and this was number one.

I found the site as I searched for forums. This one received high marks from users and reviewers.

I googled "writing forum" and found a review on writing forum, AW was one of the top one.

I was searching for places to start getting feedback on my book and came upon this handy site: https://nybookeditors.com/2015/11/11-top-writing-communities-you-should-join-and-why/

Asking a published author acquaintance of mine what I should be doing to get published, she highly recommended I come here to (eventually) find beta readers. At this point though I've realized how little I've interacted with other people who do this sort of thing though, so I'm glad I found it just as a resource!

(A quick plug for Hillary since she was the one who led me here: this is a link to her Amazon page listing her books. I don't think there's a rule against recommending someone else's work? So long as I don't spam it.)

I was just browsing some other forum and stumbled upon link to this one. It's cool out here.

I did a specific google search for "online writers forum' which presented me with a Top 10 (or 20, I forget) Online Writers Forums page. AW was the number 1 recommended site, as I recall.

I did an image search for Long Ridge Writers Group. One linked back to a thread on this site. After reading some of the posts, I thought 'maybe this site's worth checking'.

I had been looking around for a writing community, a place to share and critique work, and stumbled upon AW. I found a list of sites like this one, but after browsing a couple, AW seemed to just feel right and seemed to be what I needed.

I don't remember precisely, but I think I found this site on a writer's newsletter I get called Electric Speed by Jane Friedman. Here's a sample if you're interested: https://mailchi.mp/janefriedman/electric-speed-101?e=64bf91ac6f. If I didn't get to AW through Electric Speed, then it must have been via a Google search.

FYI, in the article AW was listed among 9 other sites that could help a writer finds critique partners or beta readers. I wish I could post the article for you, but I'm unable to locate it.

EDIT: I found the link. https://thewritelife.com/find-a-critique-partner/.

Hi all - it was by accident. I was actually searching for Celine Dion info and found this site. and I am a writer too, so figured I would join and check it out.

I did a web search for writing forums.

I searched "how to plot a novel" (something along those lines) and came here. That was a long time ago though, like back in 2006.

Add me to the “googled ‘best writing community’ and found AW mentioned at the top of every article” pile.

I think Brandon Sanderson mentioned it in one of his YouTube class sessions I watched.

Actually was doing a search for online writing sites and this one popped up. Wanted something to prompt me to write with other writers! FoothillsPoet

I stumbled across this site while doing an internet search for a probable email scam (yep - if it smells like a scam, it probably is), and found a reference to that same scam on one of the boards here. Hate how these places try to prey on writers.

I googled 'Writers forums'.
The first thing that came up was an article titled '11 Best Forums for Writers."

This forum was #1
