A Website for Private Group to Publish & Critique Work

by Paul Burns
15th November 2015

I have recently set up a private resource bank on-line for a national group using the free facilities provided by groups.io. This user-friendly web platform was ideal for storing documents in folders in a way that makes them accessible to others, but doesn't lend itself to my next project.

I want to use an existing web platform that will allow the group's writers to publish work so that can only other members of the group can see it.

The ideal platform (and I know I'm asking a lot) will be

* free and without ads

* allow people to paste poems and short stories from Word onto a page

without losing most of the formatting (one piece of writing per page)

* allow for listings of pieces under headings

* allow others to post feedback below a piece of writing

* facilitate finding a specific piece of content through a search facility

I've already experimented with Wordpress, Blogger, Flickr, Big Tent, Spiceworks...

If you have used a platform and think it meets most of the criteria, I would love to hear your suggestion. If you haven't used a platform, please don't suggest it as I've already spent a lot of time exploring non-starters.
