I would echo many of the concerns raised above. There is so little information on the website (about process, who you are, what's in it for me as a writer) that I would dismiss it as untrustworthy--I'd gravitate towards the established platforms...

Thanks for those perspectives—all very useful to take into the next phase. I can immediately see that information addressing some of your queries and assumptions is currently only accessible if you have created a writer account. It’s now clear to...

For writers more than readers sums it up perfectly. And everyone on there is making reels for you tube instagram -everything else, working their ass off reaching readers. Personally I think you would be better off looking at something like...

It's an interesting idea that is synchronistic with many of Pete's. Have you discussed this with him? How is this moneticised for you? You say join for free but as a consumer I suppose I am suspicious of any such claim. As they saying goes if you...

That's good. So I had a closer look. But I can't find any Masthead. I would never send my writing anywhere that didn't list the names and credentials of the editors. Your blog posts say they are by the Wordfyle Team. I suppose that must be you...

There actually is a submission and acceptance process in order to get published. I appreciate that may not be clear until you get through to the writers desk part of the website, (where the submission process is laid out in detail.) This is an...

I have written 3 strong short stories. I've submitted two which got honorable mention on writers of the Future. One I self-published as an ebook and an audiobook, mostly as an experiment and as a reader magnet. I will submit the third one later...

I've put more detail about it in another post.

It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s been over a decade since I joined the Litopia Colony. I’ve been dormant in recent years, though. Like many who love writing, I found it difficult to make work as more than a side-line. Bills had to be paid...

I won this a few years ago and was granted 15 minutes with a very charming agent. He asked for 10 k words from me but ended up leaving Creative Veritas the agency he was with and starting his own a week after. I fell through the cracks. Still I...

I don't do lit mags, preferring commercial. They go different directions. My take is that commercial is very reader centric while literary seems to me to be for other writers. But whichever way you go it's good. Find readers. Get feedback.

Thanks @Sedayne. I appreciate the encouragement. :)

The shortest I've managed is 20,000 words (novella) I'm not very good at sub 10,000 word stories. I'm not clever enough lol

IMO, depends how much you are paying.

It's research for my own information (not distributing it anywhere), but related to a new eReader I'm developing. I'm just curious to ascertain whether writers would actually be bothered submitting to a new digital publication dedicated to short...
