10 March 2007 A new
on-line writing club will bring together writers working in isolation
in many different countries. On forming the writing club, Askaboutwriting was receiving more than 4,000 individual visits per week from writers, or those who had an interest in writing. "We see the function of the site as facilitating exchange of information and knowledge between members, as well as addressing that sense of aloneness that can plague a writer, whether the writer is busy or resting," said site administrator Brendan Nolan. Experienced writers and beginners alike can benefit from a chat with their peers about their quiet passion for writing, he said. "We hope that members will contribute freely. However little they write in comment on the Writing Club site will flex the writing instinct and should lead on to increased productivity in their own work," said Nolan. He said professionals involved in the business side of writing would benefit from reading about the writer's point of view, a perspective that can be mislaid in the hurly burly of publication and marketing. Several categories have been placed in the forum as seed beds; but, as with all fine gardens the site will seek to propagate and nurture those areas of display while pruning areas showing little growth. "We intend Writing Club to be alive and inclusive, and encourage all to join in," said Nolan. Media
