The Staff Of The Rose & Thorn
Our Message Boards
Discuss books, authors and literary events or post your thoughts on the emerging venue of e-publishing and self-publishing, or simply interact with each other. You're invited to talk to a community of writers whose reach extends the world over.
Post job requirements, book releases, new websites of interest to readers and writers, author's website launches and anything else of a general nature for readers, writers and media professionals.
Calls for submissions and contest announcements will be placed on our Writer's Market page.
Tips for posting on our Announcements board:
- Don't use quotation marks (""), ampersands (&) and other miscellaneous punctuation in your posts. The system can't read these and will cut off your post in mid-length.
- Maximum 1000 character limit.
- Set days to number 0 for your post to remain up indefinitely. Otherwise, your post will be automatically deleted by the system in 90 days.
Here's your chance to join other writers in the creative process. Begin a new story or write the next scene of one already on the board. If you can imagine, you can participate! Invite your friends to help you continue the thread. Well thought-out round robin type stories with a beginning, middle and end will be featured on our site.
Want feedback? Read and respond to others and invite them to do the same for yours. Post your short stories here.

- Please, no flaming. Your post will be immediately removed if, in our opinion, another person is harassed or your post contains derogatory and/or belittling statements. At no time will this be acceptable. It’s okay to disagree or even argue vehemently with each other, but no personal attacks will be allowed.
- No sexually explicit, abusive, vulgar or threatening language will be allowed.
- No posts selling commercial products, get-rich-quick schemes and/or messages with html tags pointing to sexually explicit web sites.
- We reserve the right to remove any post at any time without prior notification or explanation. We want our forum to be a community effort; a place for members, by our members who are eager to share ideas, gain support from each other’s feedback, and stimulate imagination and discussion in a lively and thoughtful atmosphere.
