    Welcome to Writing Forums 



    Welcome to WF.
    Creative Writing Forums

    Writing Forums Mobile Style will automatically detect access with a mobile device.


    Writing Forums is a friendly, active literary community where you can talk with other writers, get feedback on your work, discuss ideas, share tips & tricks, network and make friends! Join in the creative writing challenges and competitions, poetry challenges and word games.

    This is a privately owned site which seeks to promote a comfortable environment for writers of all ages and levels of ability to share and get feedback on their work.

    We encourage open discussion so that members may share ideas, tips and tricks and network. While postings represent the individual opinions of forum participants, the site is monitored by the Writing Forums staff. We reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate, profane, harassing or defamatory.

    Whilst the creative areas are open to PG-13, we are a family-friendly site and the rest of the forum can be considered G-rated, so please keep the rough language in check.


    Writing Forums can also be found on Facebook

    There is also the Friends of WF option for those who are able to be more committed in their support:

    If you enjoy the site, you might consider becoming a patron and Friend of WF. There's a small fee, which we put towards hosting and promoting the site. You do get some cool benefits though...


    • Unlimited attachment space as well as unlimited Private Message storage.
    • Fancy signatures. Friends of WF can use images and quotes in their signatures.
    • Goldenness! The names of Friends of WF appear in gold both next to their posts and in the "Who's Online?" list.
    • Custom user title. After subscribing you'll be able to set your title (the phrase under your username) to anything you want, and change it as often as you want.
    • Access to the Tavern. A "private club for Friends" with additional critique boards accessible to subscribers only.
    • Access to Chat Room
    • Customizable Profile


    Upgrading your membership costs a mere fifteen bucks for half a year, or twenty-five annually. If you'd prefer not to make that commitment, you can pay monthly at a rate of three dollars. Click here to see the options. If you do not have a Paypal account then you will be given the option to subscribe using a credit/debit card when you press the "pay by Paypal" button.

    NO REFUNDS - This is totally voluntary so don't subscribe if you don't want to support, but if you do, your support will be greatly appreciated!

    If you don't fancy donating, we'd love it if you left a link to our site on your blog or profiles elsewhere.

    Thanks!
