This sub is created for new and aspiring writers and poets who want to promote their work via their own links, though typing directly in the text box is also welcomed. There are only eight simple rules to be followed here:

1- All works, except for poetry, must be 1000 or more words.

2- Links to works other than your own are not permitted.

3- No memes, jokes, personal angst, dreams or irrelevant articles.

4- No non-fiction work.

5- Patreon and Paypal links are not permitted.

6- Plagiarism and abusive comments will result in a permanent ban.

7- No works dealing with current political issues.

8- Please do NOT put links to individual chapters of a novel; only put one link to a completed novel.

9- Message the moderator if you have any problems.

Though not a rule, I strongly urge everyone to give feedback. Feedback is extremely important. Only through feedback, writers learn how to improve their work.
