    I am writing my ninth Sci-Fi novel to be self-published in June 2018. I have learned quite a few lessons as an Indie Author over the last two years and will share them with you on this website. I hope they prove helpful in your writings.

    NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow and I’m working on a SciFi piece that seems quite overwhelming. It’s a little out of my regular genre (I’m usually a Fantasy writer, or I’ll mix some tech into a Fantasy story, but usually still lean heavy on the magic side of things) but I LOVE SciFi and have a few novels knocking around my bean, so I thought I’d try…[Read more]

    Hey, has anyone read the Post-Human series? I didn’t write it, but it was really fascinating stuff in the sci-fi market. I think the guy started out as an Indie writer.

      Hi Ralph. Thanks for the recommendation. I haven’t read it yet and can’t find a book description on Amazon. What’s it about?

      I read the whole series and LOVED it!! For anyone who enjoys SciFi, I would highly recommend the series!

      Yes, I believe it is… it just seems to have been a bit slow lately…. I’m new to the forums, so I’m up for getting it active again.

    I have a novelette I recently submitted to a market. It was rejected, but included a commentary. One of the reasons for rejection in the commentary was there wasn’t enough science fiction in the story. Hmmm … Okay. The setting is on a human colony far from Earth, a central element is establishing trades routes between other colonies and…[Read more]

      Interesting question, Guy. I’ve noticed that the lines are often blurred between what many consider SF and fantasy. Personally, I like more grounded SF–without crazy names for people, places, and things. (The crazy name stuff often seems more fantasy to me.) SF that’s grounded in life as we know it–the human experience as you say–readers can…[Read more]

        Thanks, Amy. I appreciate being able to vent a bit. 😉

      It’s a fine line. In the 50s a lot of SF was like this…but now there is ‘space romance’ and ‘space politics’, where a story might be set on another planet, but it is so much like Earth that it might as well be set in Chicago.
      It’s very subjective and in the eye of the editor. Good luck elsewhere…

      At least you got a detailed response. Usually it’s a 3rd generation copy of a copy of a form letter written in Bavarian.

        Granted. I guess I grew up reading the old SF and still like to read and write it. I got plenty of those types of rejections, too, Ralph. I keep them in a file.
