Top Websites For Writers

Gone are the days when writers used to write on papers with pens and then used to send these handwritten manuscripts to tons of traditional publishers to get their book published in paperback format, and get rejected in most of these publishing houses.

In 2022, obviously times have changed and people have gone digital and online. Writers now write on digital devices like on their smartphones, their tablets, their laptops, their computers and then simply email it to the publishing houses.

Even better, most publishing houses have introduced the feature of self publishing on their websites which enables the writers to publish their own book at low costs in a matter of few weeks without needing anyone’s approval or guidance.

They even need not write on any other platform like MS Word or notepad, they can simply and directly write into the writing spaces provided by these websites, save as draft and publish once done. Even if not as a complete book, writers can write individual articles online.

Here are some websites for writing stories or creative writing:
