“Figment.com will be unveiled on Monday as an experiment in online literature, a free platform for young people to read and write fiction, both on their computers and on their cellphones. Users are invited to write novels, short stories and poems, collaborate with other writers and give and receive feedback on the work posted on the site.”

How COOL IS THIS?!?!??!?!
I am so excited, I can’t even tell you. I would have died for a site like this when I was in middle school and writing my post nuclear devastated world novels. Ha.
I feel like this is just what we need, too! To get our kids motivated OUTSIDE of school to write.
VERY COOL! I've been looking for a place for my students to get feedback from a wider audience. I've had some students dabble with Teen Ink in the past. Glad to see there's another option.
