The Steampunk Writers and Artists Guild
Matt Delman @ Free the Princess did a post yesterday introducing the new Steampunk Writers Guild, of which he is an admin. member. It's meant to be a gathering place for both writers and artists of Steampunk and is described on the site as:
"the aethernet home for writers, publishers, illustrators, readers and bloggers of Steampunk fiction, founded November 5th, 2010. It's a collaborative party, so don't hold back. Roll up your sleeves and create the groups, forum discussions and community that best suits your needs! This is not a critique group."
It includes areas like:
THE EMPORIUM: for self-promotion
FORUMS: for in depth discussions
GROUPS: for relaxed networking
CHAT: for tea and cake
Hop over and take a look for yourself. It's pretty darn cool!

And as an added bonus, here is a link to an article of the top 20 Essential Works of Utopian Fiction
Have a great weekend!
Sounds like a great group to support each other. Glad he stepped out and set it up. :O)
ReplyDeleteWow, steam punk really is growing. I've only read Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.
ReplyDeleteI love how there are groups and organizations for all writers out there. It's so important for writers to have communities to help them grow.

ReplyDeleteMatt is definitely an expert on Steampunk. Good for him for starting this thing.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across this site the other day - love it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to pick up Clockwork so I can say I've read some steampunk...I blush a little every time the subject comes up...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Shannon!
Such a great idea! Thanks for the link, Shannon. :o) Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! My son just told me he wants to write Steampunk, so now I can send him to the guild and look like a cool mom. Thanks so much, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteI loved LEVIATHAN and BEHEMOTH, and I think Steampunk will get more popular.
Interesting link to the Top Utopian novels, too. I've only read LOOKING BACKWARD, WALDEN TWO and LOST HORIZON. Woeful!
These are great links Shannon, but I've been wondering for so long what is steampunk? Obviously typically American???
ReplyDeleteThank you for spreading the word about The Steampunk Writers & Artists Guild on your wonderful blog! Matt and I are excited about the potential of the Guild and Steampunk fiction, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon .. sounds a great place for many bloggers, authors et al .. and will be interesting to follow along .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteA year ago, I didn't know what Steampunk was. I'm laughing because
ReplyDeleteI would have been scratching my head trying to figure out why everyone was so excited!
Sounds like a great place for like-minded writers to get together!
Wow! That's a lot of links and info. I'll check them out as I used to love Steampunk as a kid. Is the movie 9 (Tim Burton) considered Steampunk?
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding completely in the Dark Ages, what is Steampunk???
ReplyDeleteHey! Congrats! You won Bartered Bride!
ReplyDeleteJust send me your snail mail addy!
