Writer's Bloq
Writer's block might not be fun… but we think you'll feel differently about Writer's Bloq. Yes, we know that was cheesy, so please give us a chance to redeem ourselves.
Writer's Bloq is created for the writer by the writer. We are a community for MFA and Undergraduate writing students, professors, and alumni to share work, connect with peers, discover new writing, and uncover literary events. At the moment, there are students, alumni, and professors registered from programs including Austin, Brooklyn, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, New School, NYU, and Syracuse. Sign up, read a few pieces, upload some work, and settle into your literary home.
Because writer's bloq isn't always a bad thing. Come see for yourself: http://www.writersbloq.com/
