Get Feedback and Advice on Your Writing at Best Writing Forum
I know quite a few Pounds and Sense readers have an interest in writing, whether for pleasure or profit (or both). So today I thought I would share some information about an invaluable free resource for writers and aspiring writers.
Best Writing Forum is a discussion forum for writers that was set up by my old friend (and former publisher) Karl Moore a year ago. It was created in response to requests from members of My Writers Circle, another online forum I helped set up with Karl and managed for almost ten years.
In the last few years My Writers Circle has changed ownership several times and been rather neglected. So in response to members’ requests, Karl set up the new forum as an alternative place for writers to share their work and get feedback and advice.
Best Writing Forum uses the popular SMF messageboard software. Anyone who was ever a member of My Writers Circle will find it quite familiar, therefore. Of course, the board names and overall design are a bit different, but most people soon get the hang of it. And if you have any problems, there is a dedicated volunteer moderator team on hand to help you out.
If you have any interest in writing, I highly recommend that you check out Best Writing Forum. And if you like what you see, please do sign up. It’s free of charge and only takes a few moments. You will then be able to:
- get feedback from fellow writers across the world in Review My Work
- Talk about poetry and get comments on your own in Poets Corner
- check out the latest writing markets on the Writers’ Opportunities board
- ask any writing-related questions you may have on the Ask a Question board
- exercise your writing muscles on the Word Play board,
- shoot the breeze on any subject at the BWF Bar and Grill
- and much more! .
Now is a great time to join Best Writing Forum, as it’s still quite new and you really can play a part in helping guide its future direction. I’ll hope to see you there soon!
Note: this is an updated version of an original article about Best Writing Forum first published on my Entrepreneur Writer blog in December 2017.

Hi Nick Interesting post about BWF…. but a little unfair to lead people to believe MWC is ‘old’ ..As a member of MWC, and knowing some of its history, I find your post very unprofessional. Have a good day, sir. Jan Tetstone

Hi Jan. Thanks for your comment. I am sorry if you feel that my description of MWC as ‘old’ was unprofessional. I really only meant that it has been around for a long time, having been founded by Karl and me in 2005. By contrast, BWF was only launched in December 2017. It was set up in response to requests by MWC members who were frustrated at the lack of support the forum was receiving from its latest owners. Even so, I wouldn’t like to appear disrespectful to the current membership of MWC, so I have deleted the words you objected to. I hope that will address your concerns, and that you have a good day as well 🙂

I didn’t know about this either. What a fantastic idea and with so much on offer to support and feedback to writers, it’s definitely worth knowing about. Thanks for sharing!
