Virtual Writers, Inc. is a popular online writers’ community committed to showcasing established and emerging writers in a range of interactive and immersive environments. Here we learn to experiment with digital, social and virtual world platforms to push the creative envelope and develop a strong, unique voice.

We provide a wealth of opportunities for writers to meet, share resources, access new markets, attend online writing events, workshops and interactive readings, and discover the best writers’ conferences, competitions, colonies and literary organisations. We also provide both free and premium promotional opportunities for the author.

Our main online writers’ space is in the form of a digital community where users move, communicate and socialise using mouse and keyboard controls. We have found this type of virtual environment ideal for busy writers as it enables them to attend live events – such as author meet & greets, poetry open mics and book readings – without the need for travel. The writer is able to promote his work, meet with publishers, literary agents and other authors all from the comfort of an armchair.
