Bibliofaction - Welcome to our World
Over the past year, two young entrepreneurs from the south of England have been beavering away to bring the world a new online community – specifically for writers.
Launching in the early part of 2007, the website – known as Bibliofaction – promises to do for the world of online literature what Google has done for searching, what YouTube has done for home-made videos and what MySpace offers to unsigned bands. If you’re an aspiring writer fed up of sending your manuscripts to publishers, only for them to sit on editors’ desks gathering dust, Bibliofaction is the place for you!
With Bibliofaction’s friendly design and editorial back-up, publishing your short stories online is now a real alternative, and will help you to build up an audience. We will even commission new writing from the best of ‘the Bibliofaction’ for our printed publications.
It’s not just about helping writers either. How often do we hear that literacy is a declining skill in our society? How often do we hear parents despairing that their children spend all their time in front of the TV or computer screen, and that reading and writing abilities are suffering as a result? Spare a thought, also, for the many adults out there who struggle to make sense of words. How easy it is to feel that somehow it’s all got out of hand!
By combining new short stories with the best in accessible and user-friendly website design, reading and writing can once again become an engaging pastime for the internet generation. Getting lost in a good read will soon be second nature to anyone who visits Bibliofaction.
“There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.” Ursula K. LeGuin
Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms. It is hard-wired into human nature. We interact with stories everyday and Bibliofaction aims to harness this latent energy.
Anyone can have a go. Bibliofaction welcomes seasoned authors and new writers alike to the amazing world of storytelling. Our aim is to cultivate a friendly community in attractive online surroundings, where you’ll enjoy spending time, both giving comments and receiving advice with other members of the community. So, if you think you’ve got a story in you – and let’s face it, who hasn’t? – you can find out more, and register your interest now at
