How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream. --Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Reverie

Welcome to The Blank Page, a place filled with words, friends, and encouragement.

We are an eclectic group of serious writers, some published, some not, who share a common love of the written word and a strong desire to see our work published. To that end we participate in regular discussions (ranging from when to use a semi-colon to whether or not e-queries are superior to snail mail), honest and constructive critiques geared to helping the recipient improve their craft (rather than showering them with empty praise), and the monthly TBP contest.

If you are dedicated to improving your craft and seeing your work in print, you’ll find good company at The Blank Page.

(Moderator's note: All applicants will be emailed a questionnaire within 24hrs of applying.)
