A Tour of the New (and Improved) Features

Now that you are a member of the new site, you might be wondering just how you can use it to grow your career. Well let us share a few ideas!
This brand new extension is gives members access to some of the most talented and experienced women in the business. Through webinars and exclusive content, this segment of the site will help you build on your existing skills, expand your platform and reach new heights with your writing.
Contributing Content
Now that it is easier to find content, you can really start using your blog to push the boundaries of your network. By creating high-quality, well-informed content that is interesting to members, you will make connections left and right.
If you are a fiction writer, discuss the trials and tribulations of your first draft. Perhaps you’ll find some beta readers. If you are an editor, give insider tips on self-editing. Those who read your post may just one day be looking for an editor and guess whose name will come to mind?
When you offer something of value for free, you become unforgettable. Contribute your expertise to the community and grow within your niche.
Develop a Network
Though writing certainly can be a solitary job, success is not a one woman show. To grow your career and hit new heights with your writing you’ll need encouragement, helpful advice, mentors, professional services and friends. Find all of those people and more within the She Writes member base.
Those who get the most out of SheWrites.com are the ones most involved. We know you can’t be on SheWrites.com all day every day (or can you?). So make sure you are connected to the latest and greatest news.
Follow Us On Social Media

Not much of a social media person? That’s okay. You can get a great breakdown of highlights via our She Writes newsletter. We’ll send content from the community, promos and news right to your inbox.

Your article was informative and easy to understand. Thank you. Rose
Like Leilani Maeva, I am also receiving the message saying my account is not activated even though I already signed in through the email verification. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
Can I put a blog post on SheWrites that I also put on my author website blog?
Hmmm... I would like to post an article, but it keeps taking me back to the home page when I click on the write button. Also, it says my account is not activated even though I already signed in through the email verification.
I used to, some time ago, participate regularly, but haven't in a while. The groups I enjoyed are no longer active. So far, I haven't seen anything that grabs my attention. Guess I'll keep looking.
I am having great difficulty signing in, and when I do, getting to the next place I want to go. Is it me? Or what? I loved She Writes when it came to me without the complications. Now I can't even log in. [email protected]
Thank you! I'm excited to get started!
