hello all ~ !

looking to make friends in the lit-fict and historical fiction genres ~ peeps who are into the 19th century especially (not alternative fict or fantasy stuff, really) ~ is it me or is straight histfict sort of a rarity?

at any rate ~ hello all!

:)

hi JAlpha ~ !

i guess that's the ten million dollar question, isn't it? what exactly is literary fiction? i just define it as anything that can't be easily shoe-horned into a "pat" genre (and i think many other people also define it that way).

i've heard some high-falutin' definitions, but i mostly think they are academic and not actually indicative of the genre, so i'm sticking to my own definition ~ hahahah ~

i noticed the boards have neither lit fict or hist fict forums ~ too bad! i was hoping to connect with other writing in those avenues.

what's your particular bent?

:)

JAlpha ~ flash fiction is a lot of fun ~ i am a big fan of minimalist writing to be certain.

Welcome to AW, boots. I just joined and I've found that it's a great resource. I, too, would like to see a literary fiction section.

Hi Boots - Like many others, I don't know anything about historical fiction or even nonfiction, but if you stick around, guaranteed somebody will show up (or a whole bunch of somebodies) who share your genre. In the meantime, hang out and chat, pick up some cool resources, and most of all, :welcome:

Hey Boots - I just found this thread in the Nonfiction forum, regarding publishers interested in history. Don't know if it'll help, but it's a place to start:

A member named Underthecity (sp?) seems mostly focused on historical writing, albeit not quite back to 19th-century (that I know of).

Good luck!
