Communities

The Burry Man Writers Center is a worldwide community of writers, and it covers everything - business, chat, events, freelance, fiction, nonfiction, markets, agents, resources - you name it. A friendly site with exhaustive resources.

The Forward Motion Community's Recommended Sites for Writers A wonderful list of writing communities.

RITRO.COM (Real Insight Through Raw Opinion) In addition to the site itself, the general writing posting board is nicely active, and covers actual subjects beyond "please review my story."

Speculations, a site for "writers who want to be read" and specifying in speculative fiction has everything from market warnings to - well - everything, in addition to being the former sponsor of the notorious Rumor Mill (the future of which is under discussion). Award-winning, in-depth, and surprising, you don't want to miss it.

TeenLit Primarily focused on improving high school writers' writing, the writing workshop section is wonderful for people of all ages.

Toasted Cheese Named one of the 101 best websites for writers in 2002, it has everything from chat dates for writers to writing exercises to forums for writers (Just the Place For a Snark: general forum, meet & greet, writing prompts; Chasms and Crags: the writing life: share your writing successes & failures, grammar & technique discussions; and Damage From Hail: suggesions, comments, and tech questions). Oh, and don't forget their market list! An absolute must-visit.

Unique Critique Writing Community More a series of communities, most genres are covered; unfortunately, most of the posts focus around "review my story."
