William’s web site not only offers original short stories, but helpful insights and essays on Literary Fiction. It has a more educational feel to it. Providing essays in every aspect of narrative development. The site also has forums for discussion and links to others helpful sites for reading stories and tips on writing. William site provides short stories that can be read, downloaded for later, or listened to.
The site has interviews with notable authors and teachers. They give advice and provide insight into writing. The site has more photos than some other sites and uses them in clever ways. Some time the photos of authors being interviewed are lined up or stacked one on top of another to give the illusion of motion, like in a film or comic strip.
A robust commentary section allows for feedback to the interviews, essay’s and stories posted on the site. William has a detailed Bio as well as a section set apart for review of polls taken from commentators. Recommendations are made for books on writing. The site also provides the reader with material from the website itself for purchase in the traditional book form. Advice from workshop leaders fills another section of the website.
I found the website lacked in anything innovative or provocative. It wasn’t designed to make you think, it was designed to provide information. The same old colors and page set up’s dominated the site. It was easy to use, almost to easy. No flash animation can be found anywhere on the site as well as no humor. I was interesting to see the website but not entertaining.
