By: Ian Beck Good comments! And might I add that all the text boxes for adding comments are way too small? I would love to see a resizable dongle for these textboxes (or else just bump the size up a bit)....
By: Erba Jacob points at an interesting problem with online workshopping. Is a text to be considered published if it has been posted anywhere on the internet? And even if the creators of Writer's Pub made the texts unavailable for other than participants of this forum, they would still have been published (and read) by a lot of people. It's a new era and not only writers need to adjust; maybe first time rights will have to mean something else to publishers in the future....
By: Rob Good points, Jacob, especially the point about publishing. I would hesitate before posting anything I thought might be worthy of being submitted elsewhere. I actually quite like the design, and the comments on specific paragraphs is an excellent idea....
By: David William Wilkin In order to read the four reviews ahead of me, there was a great deal of clicking back and waiting for the review box to load. Not so handy. A way to see all comments, or reviews would be much more handy. This article of course might better serve its purpose in the forum......

By: PIF There will be changes made to this site which are more in line with requests made over on mariner forums. See this thread: All Writers Welcome/writerspub.com is officially launched!...
By: E. W. Adams Thanks so much for the insight. I think this is a great site for writers to critique each others' works. The site guidelines might make writers hold back some of the better works....
By: Clare so, this is very interesting news--am I correct in my understanding that this makes publishing a story here puts it into a sort of "catch-22" position?...
By: Bob Interesting and quite right too...
By: Lindance I agree, the review box and clicking in and out is tiresome....

Good review of the site. Not sure that it belongs on the top stories list, but it is informative and I appreciate the info on what constitutes a 'published' story. I would like further information on what 'locked away' is...maybe Writer's Pub could offer some information on this subject. Again, good review.
