THE LIT LIST: Issue No. 54

THIS ISSUE FEATURES:

Prompts from simplypoetry, versebyverse, Writers-Workshop, quill-cafe, fiftywordfiction, RawEm0tion, writeaway, Live-Love-Write, ScribeSanctuary,
Contests from Live-Love-Write, writingclub, theWrittenRevolution, BleedingHeartsPoetry,
Volunteer opportunities from PlumeWorks, ScribeSanctuary,
Critique opportunities from project-improve, TheCritiqueBox, writeaway, lyriclub,
New groups!

BleedingHeartsPoetry has been flying under the radar (my radar at least) for a year now, operating as an intimate group with a small member base, a perfectly intimate home for its members! I hope I'm not going to ruin that with this feature... For those who love to write emotionally charged poetry, this just might be the place for you. Join Now!

Freedom-Writers is a recently founded group struggling to spread its member base and garner participation. The focus of the group is writing about freedom and truth in literature, things that people in some countries take for granted. Join and participate--it's a matter of principle! Join Now!

Whimsical-Writers is a group that is still getting established, but they need your help to feature more than just the one member that is so far submitting! Seriously though, if you have ever founded a group/club, you know what it's like getting started, so show these guys some support and encouragement. Join Now!
