Writing Workshops: Do you know a place on the net where I can develop my writing skills?

Question

I'm writing stories and other things for my classes, but my language is not that well. May you help me to find an on-line interactive writing workshop, free of course, where I can put my stories or other writings and receive feedback about them to make me improve my writing skills?

That's really most appreciated. I truely thank you in advance.

Answer 1

There are so many free online workshops for writers. It depends on what you write too.

First, you can go to yahoo group and type in what you like: http://groups.yahoo.com/

When I put “beginning writers” this is what I got:

http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=beginning+writers

I recommend writers groups in my blog:

For instance: JoAnn Ross Writers Group

This writers group is designed to help develop and hone writing skills. Since we're writing with publication in mind, members are encouraged to discuss industry issues, share news of contests entered, contests won, manuscript submissions, rejections and - yay!-sales and fun reviews.

From time to time I'll be giving workshops onvarious topics, then we can discuss how they apply to members' ownworks in progress, or books read. It'll be very loosely structuredto keep it user- friendly and hopefully encourage participation.

Then, when you:
