Scribophile was the first place I stopped when I went from being an I-wanna-be-a-writer to I-am-an-author. Now I have four international bestselling novels with major publishers, and when authors come to me I always send them to Scribophile.

People are saying nice things about us:
Giving and receiving critiques on Scribophile made a big difference to the quality of my writing. I learned how to write a query letter here and that led to an agent and a book deal.

My years on Scribophile have given me a master’s level education in writing. The critiques are great, but I’ve learned as much from reading and analyzing other writers on Scribophile. I don’t think I could have polished my novel to a publishable level without this site. I’m an addict.

Scribophile’s critiquing system made a huge difference in my understanding of stories and how to write them. Even more importantly, the group of writing friends I’ve made there have been a constant fount of support, advice, and general awesomeness as I continue to mature as a writer.
