Scribophile Questions & Answers

I also want to counter the two who talk about banning etc. I'm a long time member. I've never seen anyone banned except in a couple of pretty egregious situations. I've seen people go off in a huff, of course. You cannot discuss politics or religion (unless it is related to a writing question) in the main forums and the forums are moderated so the trolls are kept to a minimum. As someone else pointed out, you should not lose any of your writing because of Scribophile. You write in your word processor on your own device and copy and paste it into Scrib for reviews. You can edit, but it is advisable to focus writing in your own software - it is not a word processing site, it is a critique site. Youi can even copy your post with its crits to your own device with one click. You completely own your writing. There are lots of non-PG even non-PG13 writers on Scribophile, even groups dedicated to those genres, including horror. I have never seen the site owner call anyone a jerk in the forums. He rarely posts in there and it is always a site administrative announcement. Almost all of the complaints I've seen here indicate the person did not understand how the site works and why, though you can get plenty of help. It, of course, doesn't please everyone but that's to be expected. You can sign up for a free account without time restrictions, just some services are curtailed or unavailable.

Sure! All Poetry lets you post as much as you want but IMHO not many people read what you post. Scribophile makes you earn points and that guarantees other people review your post.

People generally dog on new writers there. Try going on Facebook and finding other new writers to test your work on and get feedback.
