Today we took a giant leap forward towards becoming a true social network for writers and readers.

You may notice some substantial changes on the Author Buzz front page. Now the front page features your content, blog posts and status updates alike.

We’ve talked about doing this for some time and today is the day we made it happen. We’ve only gone and redesigned to give more focus to your content.

Now instead of our blog posts, you will see updates from across the site, including your blog posts, forum discussions, and status updates. Our blog has not gone away (you can find it here), Now, however, our posts have to compete on an equal footing with everyone else’s.

If you want to keep getting our updates in your activity feed you can join our group. there you can decide if you want to get emails when we post, weekly digests, or no email at all. After all, you probably know my thoughts on email.

The focus of Author Buzz UK was never about us. Our intention was always to support the UK writing and publishing industry – authors and readers in particular. Now, we can do that by putting your content front and centre.

It doesn’t matter if you import your headlines from elsewhere or publish on our network, your content will show up just the same.
