A new writing site has been launched which looks like it could create innovative ways for writers to share ideas and feedback.
Scribophile is aimed mainly at authors, poets and so on. It’s bound to be of interest to anyone involved in creative writing.
It’s well designed and attractive to look at which isn’t always the case with writing sites, many of which look like throw-backs to the early days of the internet.
The people behind the site (one of whom is a regular reader of this site – hi Alex) intend Scribophile to become create a community of authors, who can help each other and provide support and appraisals of each other’s work.
As the site itself says:
Think of Scribophile as a writer’s workshop, but instead of being in a room with 20 or so other writers, you’re on the internet with millions of other writers, each of them eager to read your work and offer helpful critiques. We pride ourselves on our friendly and helpful community. You can meet other writers with similar interests and interact with thousands of other like-minded authors from around the world.
It’s very new so the community is just starting to build. It’s looks like a cracking idea well executed, so please support them and check out the site.

Well, I visited Scribophile but since I couldn’t find a way to subscribe, I probably won’t be going back. Also, they neglected me on their top six list. For shame! I bet they didn’t vote for me at Writer’s Round-About either. But you did, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Hmm, sorry about the problems there Melissa. I’ll try myself and let them know.
i recently discovered scribophile and immediately subscribed. the site is incredibly easy to use and i look forward to getting useful writing tips! this site really does have great potential.
Looked at the site, actually was linked here from it- (found them first really) So you got a reference. (yay.) Looks like an Urbis.com clone.
Hm…
I have used scribophile for more than three mounths and have found it much better than the other writing sites.
