About us

At Fantastic Stories Rochester we’re looking for serious fiction writers who are a little farther along on their writing journey and are ready to build a shared support team. Every writer deserves a support group. A community. Someone who will cheer when your book comes out. People who are going to show up for you. A reader who will read your work as you read theirs. People who enjoy sharing and will help those who struggle staring at blank pages. And—possibly most importantly—people who are not afraid to use technology to share, edit, publish, sell their stories, and achieve their goals.

What kind of person should join a writer’s group? Individuals who are readers as well as writers. People who are ready to talk about their work and see where their work might land with readers. Folks who are looking to build a team—the ones they will need to help bring their dreams to fruition.

All over the country, there are collections of writers who work hard and boost each other. Rochester should be one of those places.
