We’re here to help one another grow as writers, navigate publishing, and connect with readers. Please help keep this community welcoming and useful. 1. Keep language clean. No profanity or vulgar language, including in excerpts, images, and shared material. 2. Keep discussions and excerpts free of explicit content. Questions about romance and attraction are welcome at the craft level. Please leave out graphic sexual descriptions, explicit excerpts, and sexually explicit images. 3. Treat fellow writers with respect. Different experiences and opinions are welcome. Personal attacks, ridicule, and harassment are not. 4. Give thoughtful feedback when requested. Be honest and constructive, respect the writer’s goals, and ask before offering an unsolicited critique. 5. Share without spamming. Keep posts relevant to writing, publishing, marketing, and reader relationships. Share promotional material only where invited, and don’t send unsolicited sales messages to members. 6. Respect other people’s work and privacy. Don’t repost someone’s excerpts, personal information, or community discussions elsewhere without permission. Posts or comments that violate these guidelines may be removed. Repeated or serious violations may result in removal from the community. If you’re unsure whether something is appropriate, please ask Elle before posting. You can also find the short rule list here: Community Rules

I’d love to help you take your next step as an author. To welcome The Write Angle’s first 10 members, I’m offering each person one complimentary 30-minute Zoom coaching session with bestselling author Elle E. Kay.

Welcome to The Write Angle! Start with these three short steps: Before you post, please read our Community Guidelines. You’ll also find the short rule list here. 1. Create your introduction post.
