UKA – A History!

UKA started in 2000 as pageturners.co.uk – a different name but the same team. We became UKAuthors.com in 2001 and we continue to this day and beyond!

UKAuthors first registered: 19th September 2001

 


 

 

 

 


UKA as ‘Pageturners’ in 2000 – 2001. This is the only page left of the OLD-OLD-OLD UKA (pageturners.co.uk) on Waybackmachine:

Here’s a nicely preserved example of OLD UKA taken in 2008 with some great memories of images and UKA members – some still going strong, others, gone but not forgotten.

PageTurnes.co.uk on WayBackMachine (although only the very first snapshot contain evidence of the presence of a writing site)


 

 

 


In 2016 we tried a name change to writeandbedamned.com. This was to be short-lived and we reverted to good ‘ol UKAuthors.com!

Not many examples of the very short life of WABD on the WayBackMachine:
