Group Info and Guidelines

Welcome to the SheWrites group for Speculative Fiction Writers.

Here are just a few, simple guidelines.

1) This is primarily a networking group and NOT a critique group. You are welcome to post short works or small portions of long work, but keep in mind that posting your work to an open forum like this constitutes the use of your first electronic rights. That means many editors and publishers won't then buy it. I recommend Critters as a great closed critique forum.

2) Feel free to promote your writing by announcing your publications and inserting links to your work. However, please don't use this group to advertise anything other than Spec Fic writing that you have some connection to.

3) Feel free to post things of interest to other Spec Fic writers- new markets, calls for submissions, favorite world-building links, great articles etc. If it is someone else's content, however, you should provide a link. Cutting and pasting someone else's work is breaking copyright (even on the internet).

4) Be kind. No flaming or trolls, please- except in your fantasy. Expressing opposing opinions can always be done courteously, without personal attacks or rudeness.

Hi, everyone. Just to let you know: recently I've joined a group blog http://silkscreenviews.wordpress.com/. We have new postings every day; you might want to check it out. We post books reviews, author interviews and sometimes random ramblings on topics related to books - ours or those of other people we find interesting. We accept books for reviews and interview requests, although we're choosy.

Hi there

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am currently working on my debut novel (it's been in the works for 2 years now), which is an urban fantasy/science fiction story with a hybrid heroine and her motley crew of misfits who help her solve a string of baffling murders in present day New York City. 

At this juncture, after spending a lot of time on characters, plot, motivation and such things, I'm halfway through my rewrite and very excited about how it's going. I'm looking forward to connecting with like-minded writers, exchanging experiences, struggles, information and all those good things.
