#40: You've Got a Friend in Me
In the last few months, we've had the same request pop up a number of times from Reedsy Prompts members: "I'd like the ability to 'follow' other writers." We heard you, and we're always looking for ways to foster a sense of community on our site. And with that in mind, we have a few exciting updates to unveil:
- You can now follow other writers and keep track of their latest publications on your Activity page.
- You can keep tabs on who you’re following and who’s following you from your profile.
- You can also view all the stories you’ve liked by going to your profile, and then selecting 'Library.'
In the spirit of community, this week's prompts are all about friendship. And here's a song to get you started.
P.S. — We're hosting another LIVE Write-In on YouTube on May 1st at 3pm Eastern Time! Once again, our hosts Shaelin and Jenn will guide you through a series of 20-minute writing sprints. During the breaks, you can share your progress and ask our hosts any questions you may have. To join, tune in to our YouTube channel at 3pm EST. We hope to see you there!
