Hello friends. It’s me, Jojo.

I’m currently doing a research project on online writing communities. Title: Exploring digital identity and creative expression on social writing platforms.

A part of this research is autobiographical. Which means, I am doing it on myself. The other part involves interviews with writers like yourselves!

And since I’m a part of this community right here I wanted to talk to all of you guys about yourselves.

What is expected of you?
An interview! I’ll reach out via dms and ask a few questions. It’s more like an informal chat.

Stuff I’ll be asking you:

  • A little background about yourself (No sensitive information though)
  • How you got into writing/ how you got involved in online writing
  • How you feel about online writing communities
  • Writing ambitions and goals
  • Talk about a story you’ve already published online/ shared. And your feelings on reader reception
  • Your opinion on “Authorship”

I need about four to five participants. But I’ll take as many as I can get! :slight_smile:

I’ll share an info doc, consent form and explain all the formal bits before we begin the interview.

Lemme know!! :pray:

I want to give this a go!

Should I answer some questions here or just wait till you DM me instead?

I ask this because I was about to answer some of the questions on this. LOL!

I think it’s best to DM for confidentiality reasons :slight_smile:

Cool! You can DM whenever you want, when you are able to.

You know, different time zones and what not.

Sounds like interesting research! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about community writing forums and platforms after I found a blog post by a former Figment user. I realized how important that site was for so many writers’ growths.

So many people might not even have become writers if it wasn’t for Figment! :open_mouth:

That’s something.

Anyway, do you still need participants?

Hello friends! Thank you for taking part in this little study :heart: :heart: I didn’t manage to interview all of you but I really appreciate your interest.

It has been successful, and I couldn’t have done it without your support.

I will be sharing the outcomes soon :blush:
