"Our primary reason for creating Toasted Cheese [Writing Community] is to provide a place where writers can get honest feedback on their work and honest information about issues important to writers.
Do we have an ulterior motive? Sure. We're all writers, and as you know, writing is a solitary profession. We want a place where we can get together with other writers and share information, talk about writing and get feedback on our work.
Just as one genre isn't for everyone, we know that one site isn't for everyone either. While we hope you will be happy with the writing community at Toasted Cheese, if not, we hope that the links at Mustard & Cress will help you find what you are looking for.
Toasted Cheese is committed to being an independent site, where all opinions are free to be expressed, as long as they are expressed in a polite manner. While we don't rule out trying to make TC self-supporting financially in the future, TC will never rely solely on advertising for revenue. You will always be free to post links to other sites and tell each other about useful writing tools.
Toasted Cheese is a site created by writers for writers. We are half-a-dozen struggling writers, not a corporation. We don't claim to have all the answers. While we've each published a short story or two, none of us have hit the big time... yet. TC is not about us teaching you, it's about all of us learning from each other.
We hope you'll join us in our campaign to Hunt The Snark, and polish your writing. Snark, aside from being a mythical beast in a Lewis Carroll poem, is what we call all those things in our writing that make it less than its best. Our mission is to hunt it out and get rid of it, and to help other people do the same. Whether you need to "charm it with smiles and soap" or to "threaten its life with a railway share" we at TC are dedicated to helping you... and we look forward to you helping us.
We hope that TC will help you achieve your definition of success--whether that's making the NY Times bestseller list, appearing on "Oprah" or getting a short story in a print magazine. Welcome to Toasted Cheese and best of luck with your writing aspirations."

Litmags.org makes no guarantees about the validity of the information provided on this site. The policies and aesthetics of a magazine cannot be reduced to a series of identical listings, and not only that, magazines are constantly disappearing and/or altering the content they look for and the policies by which they accept it.

We implore you to visit the websites of these magazines before making any assumptions about them.
