What is LetterPile?
I received an email telling me that some of my hubs moved to the vertical website called LetterPile and I can't find any other information about what this website is or why. Can someone give me some insight?
LetterPile is a niche site for HubPages. It is a permanent 'new' website that has a specific theme and topics within it. There are about twenty niche sites today. HubPages is moving Hubs from this main site to those niche sites where it is said they perform much better. They are moving the creme of the crop that are quality Hubs and perform well regard traffic / views received. There is a long story why they are doing niche sites, but basically it is a business strategy lateral move.
Letter pile can be found at https://letterpile.com/
The theme for it is Writing and Literature. It includes subtopics:
Books
Newspapers & Magazines
Correspondence
Poetry
Writing
Creative Writing
Quotations

You can go to the HubPages Blog by searching it on the web. When I post a link it doesn't seem to work. Oopps! :-) There you will see much more information on the niche sites.
Thank you very much for the information Tim!
Your Welcome. This is transitional and ongoing. It began with the first site about three months ago. Good luck with the Hubs that have been moved. Hooray!!!

This last year I improved my hubs and had 112 featured of 130 articles: Now suddenly they bust me down to only 30 featured hubs. I feel this contributes to a websites decline. I made a comment on a survey that I don't get any payout for this site and gave my opinion, and now...

LetterPile, as best I can figure from the examples shown and the subcategories, is only for original works of creative writing, such as short stories, poems, memoir essays, and so on. I like LetterPile as it is. There is no vertical or niche site at HubPages about the writing life, and that seems...

Hey everyone!I wrote an article 4 months ago, and submitted it to LetterPile. It's been pending since then. I've submitted to niche sites before but they seemed to accept or reject them within 1 to 2 weeks. Is this normal or is there some other problem?This is the article I...

I have only about 17% of my hubs on niche sites but have at least one on 10 different sites. I think it would be cool to have at least one on all of them, but there is little chance that I would write about tatoos, popular culture, music or video games.Are you a niche specialist?

I have written a series of articles/essays under the title "The Cackleberry Farmer." Only the latest of around ten issues has been selected for "LetterPile" niche site. HP won't allow links to the other hubs in the series, and anyone reading the one on LetterPile won't really be...
