Do you write more than the checks to pay the bills? Well, have we got good news for you!
Monday, June 28, 2010, Extreme Writing Now will officially become a free social network for writers, offering writers of all types a place to hang their hats and chill out with their equals.
From scribblers and bloggers to freelancers and poets, you’ll all find the welcome mat laid out at the end of a long red carpet. There will be groups and forums to discuss our addiction to scrawl our hearts out.
Right now, I am sure that you are asking what is in it for you. Nothing at all, if you don’t sign up. But, if you do become a member, you get the benefit of camaraderie. This community is unselfish beyond belief when it comes to promoting and supporting their peers.
Did I mention it is free?
The blog will be open to every member for posting, although there is no revenue sharing, the members are more than welcome to monetize their posts.
When the doors fly open, there is sure to be some construction going on to finish up the site, so watch your step and wear a hard hat.
Part of Monday’s gala will include a contest for a book give away. The contest will run like this:
Members who wish to compete the brand new copy of the book, William Golding: The Man Who Wrote Lord of the Flies, written by John Carey, must post a 55 word story in the activity stream. Members of EWN will be able to vote on each story by clicking the LIKE button. The story with the most LIKEs by 24:00 EST will win the book.
The winning story must adhere to the conventions of the 55 word micro-fiction format, which can be seen here.
Why not join us for the fun? At Extreme Writing Now, everyone is a writer and there is none better than you!
