New website for kids is launched


A former editor and a writer at The New Yorker have come together to create a webite called Figment.com. Figment.com is an online community especially aimed at younger writers. Individuals can use the website to share their writing; even submitting novels and poetry via SMS.

Users of the website who are aged 13 years and over are invited to collaborate with other writers in a process of giving and receiving feedback on the work posted on the site. So far the work posted includes science fiction, fantasy, biographical writing and serial novels.

The founders of the site are hoping that ultimately the site with attract over 1 million users and that it will also attract publishers who are on the look out for fresh, young and talented writers.
