Go to your Publishing settings and select the "Premium" which has the stack of coins next to it.

Welcome to the site, George. Good to have you with us. I've been here since 2008 and haven't regretted a minute of it. There are many excellent authors and poets here who can provide a wealth of information and assistance. I've workshopped five novels here that have been published. The help and input I received from fellow authors here has been invaluable.
Wishing you the very best with your writing. Take care and be safe ...

Many thanks, CJ! I got tied up and didn't get a chance to send this along to Inksplatter.:)
Re: Welcome
Hi! Just checking out the site. Looking for a reason to stick around, would love to know what folks like about it.
I'm an aspiring essayist who needs to engage with other writers.

Re: Welcome
Welcome to the site, SwingLifeAway. The best part of the site is the ability to get reviews from a diverse group of authors of all skill levels. Naturally, this requires giving reviews in return. That's what makes the site tick. In addition to learning from how others write, giving reviews is how you earn points in order to post your own work. One downside of essay writing on this site is that new essays don't appear on the home screen of all members as happens for the default works: books, short stories, and poems. People have to click an extra button to see them so it may be difficult to get noticed. My suggestion (which may get me in trouble) would be to publish them as short stories and select whatever genre best suits your work. You can put the word Essay in the title to further clarify what it is you're posting. Hope that helps.

Re: Welcome
Welcome, kl. There are a lot of very competent writers on the site who will gladly help you improve your writing. The site works largely based on reciprocal reviews. If you want to have your work reviewed, you simply do the same for others and most will respond in kind if your story matches their interests. Also, reviewing earns you points with which to post more of your writing. The site's regular reviews are great for high-level feedback, and the inline reviews are excellent for detailed feedback about individual paragraphs, sentences, words, and punctuation. Although I don't write about werewolves and vampires, my story is a Catholic tale of the end times, so there are a few demonic beings lurking about. Check out my book's content summary to see if it might interest you.
See you around the site.
Dirk

Re: Welcome
Hi! I'm a newbie here and I'm so happy!
This is the kind of site I've been searching for. All the sites I used to belong to were mostly for 13 year olds. It was hard to find something geared to "big people". I've already learned a lot from many of the writers on here. I'm an old school writer and the things that applied when I first started writing (100 years ago) don't seem to apply anymore. It's hard to break the habit, but the great writers on here have a lot of patience. I'm very grateful for all the help. KL

Re: Welcome
Hi everyone!
Just joined this sight after looking for some Writing Circles to join. Glad to be here, and I've already met some great people 
. Looking forward to meeting more writers! I'm currently working on a High Fantasy series, the first installment of a trilogy named 'The Embers of the Past'. I've shared the first scene here already.
All criticisms and comments welcome !
Hope to see more of you guys around the site!

Re: Welcome
Hello, I've just signed up for the site a few days ago after looking at a few different options and it looks great to me! I'm mid writing something myself. I have many abandoned projects so this time decided to write all the way through to the end and then go back and edit and see if that makes a difference. So I'm at 50,000 words now but I'm aware there is a lot of work to do with everything written so far. Anyway. Just introducing myself.
