Meet other local Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers! Gather to network, exchange ideas, and socialize with others who are interested in writing about Sci-fi, fantasy, and other types of speculative fiction (SF)!
- Have your writing critiqued in a positive, supportive atmosphere.
- Get answers to your burning questions about writing.
- Share your own knowledge and insight with other aspiring writers.
- Guest speakers some months, including novelists and editors!
You can bring a work you want critiqued (such as a short story, novel chapter, synopsis, query letter, outline, or anything SF related). However, don't feel compelled to bring a story if you don't have one finished, as this is more than just a critique group.
We will also discuss the joys, triumphs, and just plain FUN of writing SF, as well as its occasional trials and tribulations. You can talk about favorite authors, characters (yours, or another author's), SF books, series, magazines, or even movies.
If you have burning questions about writing, or amazing insights about writing to share with other aspiring SF writers, bring those too! We want to know what works for you, what makes you more creative and productive, and share what can help us get published!
At the December 12th Meetup, we will have a guest speaker!
He is John Joseph Adams, editor of the anthologies Federations, The Living Dead, Seeds of Change, and Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse. Forthcoming work includes the anthologies Brave New Worlds, By Blood We Live, The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Living Dead 2, The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination, and The Way of the Wizard.
