Sign up for the Storyarts Listserv!

I am encouraging people to join our listserv.

A listserv is an interactive email forum (not a news group) that allows members to share email files, in this case creative writing. The Storyarts Listserv functions as an on-line interactive creative writing workshop. Members post their work, and post comments on the work of others. You will not be ridiculed here, and no one is going to go out of his or her way to correct your grammar and spelling. No one expects you to be perfect. You are welcome as you are, just so long as you like to write.
All Storyarts services are free. No advertising. No gimmicks. No fees.

Here's how to enroll in the Storyarts listserv:

Send a message to: storyarts@core.com

Type "subscribe' in the subject box. Do not use the quotes or include any other characters. Just type subscribe in lower case letters.

Your name and email address will be added to the list.

The rules of the list are as follows: No pornography. No advertising. No political or religious proselytization, no hate messages, no personal attacks, no personal slanders, no forwarded messages without list approval, and no attachments. This is a "closed list" and non-members cannot submit to it.

The list is highly recommended to those who are attempting the six week fiction and non-fiction sequences. Other writing is welcome so long as it stays within the guidelines listed above. The list discourages the chapter by chapter submission of book length works.

Presently there are about 40 active members on the list. List traffic is not heavy, usually less than five messages a day, and can be reduced to one message a day if you chose the "digest option" which combines all messages for that day into a single file.

The list especially welcomes beginners. We expect you to be over 18, or to have your parents or guardians approval.
