Share writing projects with millions of people with Scribd
January 5, 2009As a writer-type person, I have several writer-type friends. And I know that these writers are always looking for new, more convenient, and more effective ways to write, publish and share their work with other writer-type folks. I think it’s safe to say that most writers want their work published somewhere and read by someone, and that they’re always looking for inspiration.
Well, now there’s Scribd, a place for writers to upload their work, be it completed or a work-in-progress, for 50 million Scribd users (or maybe just a handful of friends) to see. The cool part is that Scribd automatically transforms your document, whether it’s a PDF, Word document, or PowerPoint file, into a sharp-looking web-based document, then indexes every word so it can be found through search engines.
Scribd is a great place to upload your course syllabus, a PowerPoint slideshow lesson, or even your own creative work to share with thousands of other teachers. And with Scribd’s vast database of documents, browsing the site can be a great source of inspiration for class writing projects. -LAUREN FROHNE
