What Would An Edit Red Homepage Do for your writing?

Edit Red not only offers you the chance to manage your own personal web space without the need for web design skills, it will also enable you how to take charge of your writing career. As a writer Plus or Author PLUS member you can:

Upload stories, poems, articles, screenplays or novel excerpts and control your readership. (You own all rights to your work)
Link to your published writing elsewhere on the web.
Promote your books (with covers, blurbs and reviews) and sell through the retailer of your choice. (Allows Associates codes)
Track and manage your submissions.
Produce and sell your e-books directly off your profile (You will need a Paypal Account).
Access one of the best zine and journal directories on the web using our advanced search functions.
Build a close-knit reader group for critiques, support, and editorial input.
Access our promotional guides and articles to advance your writing career.
Enter cash prize competitions and win prestigious awards.
Submit your stories and poems to our printed anthologies.

All this and your own personal web address to boot ( editred.com/username ), which means you can invite friends and colleagues to your web page to read your writing and buy your books. Your web base takes just 5 minutes to complete.

The Edit Red Community

The Edit Red Writing Community has everybody from up-and-coming writers to Time Warner authors with over 5 books published. It is the perfect place to get your work critiqued and proof-read, pick up free advice from established authors, meet other writers in your area and win awards.

You don't have to take part in the community if you don't want to. You can use Edit Red simply as a web base where you can invite friends and family to view your writing. However, our 7000 members login over 80,000 times a month between them. Not only is it fun and helpful, it's a little addictive too.
