Writing is a form of communication through which a writer conveys his message to his audience through the words he pens down, hence, for his writing to be acknowledged it must be published. To achieve this, he needs a platform where his articulated words can be showcased for the world to see. This is where platforms for writers come into play; platforms that serve as support systems for upcoming writers.
Below are some of these platforms:
