Scribnia is a community built around online authors. Anyone whose work is available online, from small-time bloggers to New York Times columnists, is fair game.

There are countless writers available online, yet till now there has been no organized way to learn about their biases, background, and abilities. Scribnia enables readers like yourself to rate writers that they love and those you cannot stand. So go ahead: rave about your favorite author and blast writers you find biased, unreliable, or just plain dull.

Want to search for new authors to read? Scribnia can help!

Scribnia’s “Context ratings” provide an innovative way of filtering for authors based on criteria that are important to you. Looking for a politics blogger who is uber-liberal? How about a music critic with a penchant for obscure classic rock? Scribnia lets you search deeply and easily through thousands of bloggers, reporters, and columnists.

Best of all, Scribnia’s recommendation engine can do the work for you. After you’ve rated a few authors, our algorithm will analyze your tastes and recommend someone who may become your next favorite author.
