Redroom.com - Where the Writers Are

The Red Room Writers Society was founded in San Francisco in 2002 to provide writing workshops and scholarships to writers in the Bay area. This immensely popular writing community has now entered into the digital world, with the intention of providing original content by noted (and still unknown) authors, as well as a way for members to connect with the writers. It provides a forum for intelligent discussion between authors and readers, as well as a resource for reviewing and purchasing books. Finally, Red Room supports select charities and urges members to donate to literary causes and to support up-and-coming authors.

“Welcome to Red Room, the official home of the world’s greatest writers. Through original, author-generated content, we offer a trustworthy and creative social network unlike any other. Here, you can connect with your favorite authors, access current industry news, and comment on engaging features. By fostering true community between authors and readers, Red Room showcases esteemed writers and inspires the next generation. We also give back to the community we aim to nurture with our commitment to the Causes We Support.”

Red Room provides an exclusive forum for literary lovers. The relationships that the creators have with certain authors (as well as monitored comments to follow the site’s rules of conduct) should ensure an intelligent discussion that sets Red Room apart from other literature-themed websites. It also carries with it an impressive reputation.

It seems that a critical point of the site is discussion of topics- can Red Room ensure that authors participate regularly? Does it plan to make money entirely from donations?
