Creative writer?

Budding novelists who are frustrated by endless rejections from publishers and agents should take a peek at a website called The Frontlist (www.thefrontlist.com). The site encourages unpublished writers to submit material, and read and review the work of others, which is then ranked accordingly. All very well, you may think, but will the book industry pay any attention? Well, at least two companies are promising to do so.
The literary agency AM Heath and the web-to-book publisher The Friday Project will receive and read the top-rated submissions. Scott Pack, the former Waterstone's enfant terrible now at The Friday Project, says: "The internet is a great showcase for many styles of writing, but up until now fiction writers haven't been served well. We are therefore great fans of The Frontlist and look forward to many hours browsing its content and commenting on submissions ... we hope to find some great novels to publish as a result."
