| Posted By : crystalwizard - 1/13/2007 12:23 AM | Can we have a place in the forums to list all members who are authors, with links to their books?
Maybe a closed forum or thread so we don't get a lot of chatter on it?

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa’necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.

| Posted By : Keralen - 5/7/2007 7:57 AM | | Not to get into definitions, but it would be nice to know who's written what, so I can keep an eye out for them at my pathetically stocked Borders. |
| Posted By : Dave - 5/11/2007 2:20 PM | I'm not really sure what you're asking for. A private forum for published authors? WHo decides who's 'published' and who's not. What would you discuss in there that wouldn't be appropriate for the general pop? My immeidate reaction is that something like that would be too SFWA-ish and not a positive addition to the open community I've tried to foster with SFReader....

| Posted By : crystalwizard - 5/11/2007 2:52 PM | not a private forum, just an easy to find list of every member who's got stuff that's been published...book, magazine, e-zine, whatever (other than blog or something personal like that). Mostly so that the members could say 'hmm, I haven't anything to read, let's see who's got stuff I haven't seen yet', go down the list of other members and go take a peek at what they've put out.
I guess it would be up to the individual member to decide/own up to being 'published' or not, as I was kind of hoping that the individual members would be the ones to post all in one spot stuff like 'I've got these books out, and here's links to the issues of xxx where you can find my stories xx and yy' or something. (that's why I was thinking a forum thread, cause everyone could post their own stuff in it that way') I suggested closed cause I was hoping for a list, kind of like the books to read for the year list, not a discussion group. |
| Posted By : Mike Lynch - 5/11/2007 8:19 PM | I just thought of another benefit of having authors list their publishing credits. For those writers who are trying to get published, it shows the places they can go to send their stories, whether it be books or magazines. Also, if a would-be author isn't familiar with the publishers or magazines that will accept submissions from those without any publication credits, this would be a place to give them a start. I can be used as a resource for those who are just getting started, but aren't familiar with publishers that are out there.

It did let me sticky it too. Thanks Dave.

| Posted By : Mike Lynch - 5/14/2007 11:58 AM | I believe this will be a valuable resource for other writers. Crystal Wizard, that was good thinking on your part. Also, thank you Dave for letting it happen.

| Posted By : bleacheddecay - 5/20/2007 3:48 PM | Where do I find this list?
bleacheddecay |
| Posted By : crystalwizard - 5/20/2007 4:03 PM | In the On Writing forum, in the thread called Published Authors.
look at the top of the page and you'll find the New Topic button. Right about that you'll see a link called SFReader Forums.
click on that and it will load the main forum list.
Scroll down it slowly until you see the forum called On Writing.
Click on the forum name and you'll see all the threads. The Published Author's thread is stickied and will be the first thread in the list.
Let me know if you can't find it for some reason.
