Original Fiction Authors! 11 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 39
If you- or someone you know (feel free to 'share')- is an aspiring author in the genres of Scifi, Mystery-Thriller, Paranormal or Urban/Contemporary Fantasy, give my recently signed publishers a look. They are very welcoming, friendly and they allow you to be very hands-on and involved in every step of the process in creating your book. They are not a 'vanity publisher' that will print anything for anyone for a fee; they are legit, and wonderful, but feel free to research for yourself.

In my case, I didn't find them, they found me-- tripped over the book I have in the Amazon virtual shelves, liked it enough to want to represent me and my future works, and then moved heaven and earth via the internet to contact me . . . which in this case means tracking me down on FB. And when I researched them, I learned that they, unlike a lot of publishing houses, don't ask about 'writing credentials' until after they've read your manuscript. That's amazingly heartening if you're like me and you've not got so much as a creative writing workshop to your name. The 'big guys' usually do it the other way around, asking for credentials first before they want to see any writing from you. Boooooo *rageface*

What great news. I was planning on writing a Sci-fi novel for NaNo this year. I will defiantly look into it. Well assuming I finish it.

Wow, thanks for the head's up!

I'll definitely keep Curiosity Quills in mind for when I finally finish something! Hopefully NaNo won't kick my butt and take my name (again) this year!

You're welcome, guys. They're just a really wonderful crew to be a part of (and omg, they have the most amazing digital artist working on my cover art [Mirella Santana on deviantART]) OH, and--and-- as fanfiction writers who usually produce chapters one at a time rather than writing a story from beginning to end (I like to think of it as 'in bulk' XD), this might interest you- they run weekly serials on their site. So, if that appeals to you, you can query them in regards to writing a serial (which, either at the end of its run, or when you complete it, would be collected into one work and released as a novel).

That is interesting however, my writing started with original work and novels (unpublished of course) then moved to fanfiction. I was never good at putting out a story chapter by chapter. It just doesn't work that well for me. Anyway, again. Thanks for the info. I'll see what happens.
