Science Fiction and Fantasy Novelists

October 29, 2008 12:00 AM

A window into the world of SF and fantasy fiction—one that never fails to intrigue—this site is the home of a vibrant community of writers who share their thoughts on publishing, craft, discipline and anything else associated with the day-to-day process of creating novel-length works of prose. For aspiring authors, voracious readers or anyone interested in the business of publishing, this Web page offers an always-changing kaleidoscope of fresh perspectives and razor-sharp
insights.


The public face of Science Fiction and Fantasy Novelists is, not surprisingly, its blog. Recent entries include an essay by David B. Coe on writing in the face of life's various distractions, a Tate Hallaway discussion of genre definitions and a Kelly McCullough piece on "happily ever after" endings in fiction—one that provides a viewpoint quite different from that offered in an earlier Alma Alexander post on the same subject. Visitors can follow a given author back to their personal blog, via a "What Our Members Are Saying" menu, surf the members' list for their favorite writers and cruise the site's extensive archive of older posts.

The members of SF Novelists share a love of speculative fiction and an ardent desire to spread the word about books worth reading. The site showcases its members' own novels, naturally; readers inspired by a particular entry can easily check out its author's backlist and will sometimes even find podcasts or links to sample chapters. With so many writers contributing opinions and experience to the blog, it is a site that rewards frequent visitors, sparking new ideas and challenging readers on an almost daily basis.
