Get involved

This directory is a collaborative effort. It’s not one long list of unmoderated links. The sites featured here are chosen by professional, practising writers. It’s designed to grow and evolve, not sit and stagnate.

And you can help. If you think a site should be included on Websites for writers, let us know through our submission page.

Who goes there?

My name is Iain Broome and I’m an author, copywriter, editor and spoken-word night organiser from Sheffield, in England. I blog about writing at Write for Your Life and edit this site, Websites for writers.

I write fiction and recently completed my first novel as part of Sheffield Hallam’s acclaimed MA Writing course. In the last five years, I’ve also edited a literary magazine (twice) and co-founded Words Aloud, a successful open-mic night for creative writing.

By day, I’m a copywriter for a leading UK design and e-learning company, The Workshop.
