YouWriteOn was launched in January 2006 as an innovative scheme to help new writers get published. It is sponsored by the Arts Council of England. Members of the site upload the opening chapters of their novels to be peer reviewed and rated based on a variety of criteria: character, plot, pace & structure, use of language, narrative voice, dialogue, setting, theme and ideas. On the first day of each month the five highest rated chapters receive a free professional critique.

  • YouWriteOn was launched in January 2006 as an innovative scheme to help new writers get published. It is sponsored by the Arts Council of England. Members of the site upload the opening chapters of their novels to be peer reviewed and rated based on a variety of criteria: character, plot, pace & structure, use of language, narrative voice, dialogue, setting, theme and ideas. On the first day of each month the five highest rated chapters receive a free professional critique. The best are then forwarded to the London agencies Curtis Brown (literary agents) and Christopher Little. Due to the success of the YouWriteOn, various other organizations have set up similar sites along the same lines, most notably the publisher HarperCollins which is launching their own version – authonomy. com – in 2008.
