Hello,
My username is firstbook. I want to communicate with others who are interested in writing and publishing their writing, fiction and non-fiction.

I hope to learn from all of you.

Best,
firstbook

Hiya there, firstbook. Welcome to WF.org!

Hulk,
Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

Hi firstbook and welcome :)

Welcome to the forum firstbook, good luck with your first book ;)

Heya, happy belated welcome to the site! Hope you're finding it interesting and making lots of new friends :)

Hello firstbook, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. Remember to check out our FAQ (http://www.writingforums.org/faq.php) as well!

As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room forums on this site, therefore, are true workshops, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work (and on that note, please only post each item for review in one Review Room forum). See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? (http://www.writingforums.org/showpost.php?p=65432&postcount=1) for more information.

Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
