How'd You Find This Site?

Started doing research on agents and came here via a link at AgentQuery.com. I've visited a few other similar sites but this seems to be the most friendly so far.

A friend actually recommended this website to me. I really like it so far - seems a lot more welcoming than most I've visited.

Scribophile. Someone asked about other critique/beta sites and it was mentioned. That was in 2010.

Critique Circle. Someone recommended it for those who had learned as much as they could from that platform, and were looking for potential beta readers.

I googled writers forums.

I was a member maybe 10 years or so ago. Decided to get back into writing and joined again.

After all attempts to find creative crowd in real life failed, I've turned to Mr. Google and asked him the question. One of his first responses led me to this weirdly named place that embraced and accepted me (so far). In short, that's how I got here. I've lurked from the shadows for a few days now and I've stalked a few of the writers here all over the virtual realm and I must say that I'm impressed with what I've read and found out. I hope to get inspired and motivated to write. Since I'm not a native english speaker, please forgive my mistakes. Also, please treat me kindly. I'm Dana! Pleased to meet you all!

Googling writers forums and communities!

About a week ago I Googled "Self aware characters," which led me to a ten year old thread here.

I saw it mentioned on a list of writing communities. I don't remember where, though. Then it popped up from time to time when I googled for answers to my many newbie questions. It took months, and a few aborted attempts, to create an account, and then a few weeks to get up the nerve to post. Takes a lot to push me out of lurk mode.

I searched on Google and found this website. It seemed to be exactly what I was looking for; I don't write as often as I could, but on the occasions I do, I would like to be able to bounce ideas off of other writers, and get solidly good support.

Someone mentioned it in the local writer's group I belong to. She said she loved it and that it was a great way to get more involved in the writing community. Aaaand here I am.

Found it years ago (I forget how long exactly) while researching...something industry related. I think it was a potential vanity press that I was looking for info on. But BAM! Absolute Write forums found!

A friend talked to me about it.

I was Googling writing peer editing groups and happened upon this forum that was on a list. Couldn't tell you what website it was listed on, but I'm glad I found it.

Here's (probably) an unusual one: I'd heard of the site here and there, but never really checked into it . . . and then when I was reading Robert Jackson Bennett's article on finding an agent, I noted that he mentioned the site as a good resource for writers, and one he himself had used. As a speculative fiction writer, I haven't found as much in the way of local writing groups as I'd like, and I admire Bennett's work tremendously. So . . . here I am.

I actually asked Marvel's Kelly Thompson for recommendations about finding a beta reader for a script, and she suggested I check out the forums here.

I visited a few websites with reviews about the best forums to join for writers/authors. I seen this forum mentioned in several places, so I joined to help me with my journey in making my first novel as sucessful as possible.

I Googled "writer's forum" and came across an article on nybookeditors.com that listed some recommended forums and this was one of them.

My editor recommended this site to me.

A blog post suggested it and it was later repeated by an editing website.

I went to Misinformation Highway and asked from Omniscient Road Toll Troll Gögelius Göögendahl where I could find the mysterious Third Board. (I had already found SFF and WF. They exist in 6:th dimension of materialized imagination.)

Göbelius Göögendahl told me that I must sacrifice The Truth, The Honesty and The Left Wool Sock before I am qualified to enter.

I decided not to do that. So I subscribed in.

(I'm not sure if I should trust blindly to Road Toll Troll Gögelius Göögendahl any more.)

Hi!

My name is Monica. I write YA. I found this site in an article. I don't remember the name of the article.

Hey, everyone! I found this forum through a Twitter post by a fellow writer. Looking forward to making friends and giving and receiving feedback!

I found this site from my Professor in a creative writing course.
