Scribophile should be your first stop in learning to write in whatever style or flavor of genre flows from your mind to page–or screen. If I ever made a mistake in my own time of writing, it was that I hadn’t joined this community sooner.
Instead, I’d joined them later.
Scribophile is a respectful online writing workshop and writer’s community. Writers of all skill levels join to improve each other’s work with thoughtful critiques and by sharing their writing experience.
We’re the writing group to join if you want to find beta readers, get the best feedback around, learn how to get published, and be a part of the friendliest and most successful writing workshop online.
Is Scribophile worthy of me?
I stayed on this site constantly when I wrote a lot.
Any time I needed something to be critiqued, I’d upload it here and keep perfecting it until people were having a hard time finding things that were actually wrong with my wording or style.
The way they offer you several choices of critique is perfect for those with different styles. You can choose the inline critique, freeform, or even template.
Personally, I always did inline, because I critique as I read.
I can’t read something as a whole and just talk about the problems and the things I liked. My memory isn’t the greatest.
Man, just writing about this site makes me nostalgic for the community. I remain dedicated to the site and the community–they’re amazing–and so I keep up with my premium membership. And the only time I do things on here is when I’d like to critique works.
Unfortunately, I just no longer have the drive for writing.
Unless it’s blog posts.

How’s the community?
The community on this site is absolutely amazing. They all pitch in to help with whatever question you may have on the forums and there are even those that have been there from near the start of the community itself. The owner is kind, but most of all…they have fun.
Seriously, the April Fools jokes have been hilarious in the times I’ve been there to witness them.
Not only that, but some of the people who critique your work will go super in-depth with it, so you know what works and what doesn’t. There aren’t many critiquers who will give a few words on your piece and move on.
I was one of the people who would tear down every sentence and pick it apart.

Got an example of a critique?
This is a portion of an example of someone in-line critiquing a chapter of my had-been novel.
Does Scribophile have an affiliate program?
No.
