Welcome to The Authors Haunt Writing
Projects page. Below you will find links to a variety of
fiction and poetry writing projects, each containing submissions
by multiple authors.
Writing Projects are exercises or
"challenges" designed to help authors to develop their skills
or expand their knowledge of a form of fiction or poetry writing.
At The Authors Haunt we have a number of ongoing fiction and
poetry writing projects, with a constant flow of new material
for each as new authors accept our challenge and take part in
the exercises.
Though the stories and poems
contained in this section were written as exercises, only those
that meet our minimum quality standards appear on the site, so
you can be assured that the work that appears here is just as
good as the writing you'll find anywhere in our Library.
Within each project page is a link
to a "Participation" page, where you can find more information
about each project and details of how you can participate.
Anyone can submit work to a writing project here at The Authors
Haunt - you don't have to be a Resident Author to join in.
