jewishstorywriting.com is a portal for all fiction writing and offers both the emerging writer and the professional author a chance to enter writing contests, develop their writing skills, and read quality writing. They partner with organizations and media sources to create gateways for aspiring writers and those with writing experience to showcase their work.
One of the site’s main goals is to broaden the avenues for writers to sell their writing and find venues for them to have their work read. Their main focus is writing that contains Jewish content; prose or poetry that features either a Jewish theme, Jewish character, Jewish setting or locale, refers to Israel, the Jewish people, their religion, heritage, customs or history.
