Great News! My community is up! — Authors Haven
So, a few weeks ago, I'd made a post about how I wanted to create a community for fictional book writers and authors alike. Not for promotion. But rather to share their challenges because sometimes I felt like I experienced things I never usually see other writers talk about or feel the same way, so I wanted to create a community in which all writers/authors could join each other to share their challenges, know they are not alone, and also receive advice when they ask for it. Basically a behind-the-scenes community made for writers/authors alike.
Sometimes searching online and having to check multiple sources just isn't enough.
So, because Tumblr communities is still in beta, I had to submit my community for manual review before it could be approved. Today, I just got the notification that it was approved, and so I wanted to share this with you guys, finally!
I will warn you though that my idea wasn't previously named "Authors Haven" and I'd gone into a three-day long brain churning to finally come to Authors Haven. I'd even made a logo for what it was previously called 'Writers Ask & Digest'; and so that was the name I'd submitted the community to Tumblr under. I've changed the name now that the community is approved, as well as the banner.
So, here is my community!
An author's safe haven.
Please do let me know if the link works.
Also, would it make more sense if I keep this link public, or should I give people a form to submit so that I can invite them privately instead?
keep link public on this post for anyone to join
make a form for them to submit with the reason why they would want to join
those who want to join should put their username below so they can be invited
Edit: The community is currently set to anyone can join. It is public.
