Hello Science Fiction Readers
Hi,
I've loved science fiction throughout my life. I have many favorite authors, including George Turner, Damien Broderick, Margaret Atwood, Terry Brooks, Greg Egan, and Stephen Donaldson. If you're an Aussie you might have noted a few Australian authors in that list. After writing a first novel, I decided my writing needed some improvement so I did a few writing courses. Since then I have written another novel and I have three others at various stages. Currently writing a novella. Nothing published yet. Graham. |

Hi Graham, glad to meet you. Good luck on the books. Have you considered self publishing? Lots of authors here do that to get their books out to the public and garner and anxious fan base.

Good to have your company, Graham. As a pro writer/editor for forty-five years, I reckon the main tool in the developing author's kit is perservenerance. Eventuntually, it becomes pretty well the only rule of the game. Good luck and best wishes. Neil
