Online Writers Chat Room

Online Writers Chat Room

The Chatroom is open 24/7 and you are welcome to bring a writing friend or two and chat about all things Writing.

Beware, I will be able to see your IP addresses and block you for attempting to pick up little girls or swap revenge porn.

As of 1 August 2022, The Writer’s Chatroom is closed to scheduled chats.

I’ll be deactivating the Newsletter. The Chatroom will still be on site and open 24/7 for any of you who need a quick place to gather and work on writing related issues.

The Forum has 295 members at last count. I will concentrate on making it a more interesting and engaging place.

I’m leaving the website and Forum in place and I’m going to delve into how young people are chatting and how they meet up. I have a Discord Server and I’ll look into ways to make us a multi-generational landing pad.

I have been going to the Chatroom at least 13 years. Two of my manuscripts were accepted and published during that time. Many of our regulars continue to be published regularly.

I’ve really enjoyed growing up with many of you. I’ll be lurking and who knows, scheduled chats may return.

Thank you all for your friendship and I hope I’ll see you hanging out on social media.

Self-Published or Traditional, Your Book cover is Important
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing cover art. 

You can do it yourself, hire a cover artist of be thankful your publisher is going to take care of it.

But, in any case, you are going to need to share what is in your mind’s eye. A cover artist will likewise want you to see through her eyes.

 People do choose a book by its cover.  Chat with us about what works for a book cover and what makes a potential reader pass on by.
