We started Peerscribe in hopes of creating a space on the Web for writers. We hoped it would become a place to foster creativity. A place where we could get feedback on our works-in-progress. Where we would feel comfortable giving advice one day and seeking guidance the next. A place that would connect us to our peers on the other side of the planet as easily as it would our peers on the other side of town. Slowly, it is becoming that place.
As our community grows, we hope our collective ambition grows with it. Among us we now have published poets and seasoned storytellers, but we also have writers who are just getting to know their craft. Through feedback, workshops, and the simple act of publishing our work for our peers to examine, we hope Peerscribe will become an instrument that nurtures our voices, cultivates our talent, sharpens our skills, and focuses our view of the world.
Thank you for helping us write this vision.
