Frequently Asked Questions - Questions about Groups

A group is a way for users to get together to share interests and information. The member who creates the group controls who can join the group, and whether the group is public or private. Once you join a group, you can post content and comments, hold discussions, schedule events, create contests, and invite others to join.

Some examples of what's possible with groups are:

  • An online writers' group for your home town, state/province or country
  • Critique groups to workshop your writing
  • An online home for your local writers' group or book club
  • Book-, author- and genre-related groups
  • Online poetry circles
  • Networking and employment opportunities
  • ...and almost anything else you can imagine!

You can create as many groups as you like. All groups must conform to our terms of service. Groups should be related to writing or the publishing industry in some way, or be generally of interest to AuthorAdvance users. Beyond this, there are no limits on the content or subject matter of groups.
