Zoetrope.com

I recently discovered Zoetrope.com, a virtual writing workshop sponsored by Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope Studios. There are different areas for different types of writing: Short stories, screenplays, novellas, short scripts, poetry, flash fiction, etc. The site promotes and encourages reviews of other authors' works by requiring five reviews per submission you make.

Both reviewers and author submissions are rated, which helps foster the review process. In less than a week I have gotten some great feedback about the short story I published here as a free e-book download. And in the process I have met more than a few writers that are very talented and that seem to like my writing style... which is a great thing for someone new to all of this like myself.
