:: Have You Found Our New Chat Yet? ::
A few weeks ago, Writing.Com re-opened our chat system for testing. With the
testing of this recently purchased software going well, we wanted to make sure
everyone knew where they could find Chat. It's linked under your Member Tools
pull down menu as "Launch Chat".

With our chat software, members have the ability to create and moderator their
own chatrooms within the system. This makes it a great tool for groups and can
be used for anything from meetings, open discussions, moderated discussions or
even hosted events!

Chat is also a great way to meet fellow writers and engage in some real time
conversations with your existing Writing.Com friends. When you have a few
minutes to spare, stop in and see who's around!

The ability to use the Writing.Com chatroom is reserved for those members with
an Upgraded Membership or higher. For more information on the benefits of our
various paid membership plans, please visit:

:: Reminder: Introducing 'In Print' ::
In Print is a new system that allows our Writing.Com members to show off their
published work. Members may list up to six of their publications by entering the
ISBN numbers of their books, as well as a short In Print bio section.

Member can setup their In Print area from the "My In Print" link under the "Author
Tools" pull down menu. Once set, a new Support This Author section will be
added to the left hand column of their item pages. Here are some examples:
          "Invalid Item"   by A Guest Visitor
          "Invalid Item"   by A Guest Visitor
          "Invalid Item"   by A Guest Visitor

Looking for a new book? The In Print section supports the authors of Writing.Com,
so check here first! A complete listing of Writing.Com's authors In Print can be
found under the "Item Jumps" pull down menu as Authors In Print, or directly at:
          http://www.Writing.Com/main/authors/action/in_print

The ability to set up an 'In Print' section is reserved for those members with an
