If you are a writer - or are trying your hand at a writing career - then you know how difficult it can be to break into the industry. Publishers are accepting fewer and fewer manuscripts, and the competition for copywriters and ghostwriters is fierce.
To that end, there are resources that can help new writers grow their careers. The Internet is one viable source, while there are also annual publications that list markets for writers and ways to generate further income. These resources are invaluable to writers who are confused about certain technicalities or who simply aren't sure whether their writing is "good" enough.
But what about writers who need personalized attention? Writers who have specific questions and have no idea where to turn? Those are the writers for whom Authors Galore was created.
Authors Galore is a brand new forum for writers and would-be writers to share their work, gain experience, and receive free critiques from professional editors and ghostwriters. Every month, Authors Galore chooses exemplary work to be promoted as monthly winners. So far, the categories include:
:: Poem of the Month :: Book of the Month :: eBook of the Month :: Article of the Month :: Screenplay of the Month
This is a wonderful way for new writers to gain exposure and to receive feedback from fellow writers who are working toward the same goals. Authors Galore will also provide a detailed critique on any work that is submitted - either to be posted on the site, or confidentially.
Authors Galore also hosts a writers forum in which members can post questions about writing, editing and publishing and can hold discussions about anything at all. Authors Galore hopes to establish a vibrant community of authors and aspiring writers who want to share their expertise and ask questions of the pros.

A community for authors and writers has been a long time coming, and all writers out there should be a part of it. There are absolutely no costs involved, and free advice is a rarity in this world. This is a chance for writers from all over the world to connect and to share their experiences in the industry.
