So, I've been looking for different writing sites up here in the internet and stumbled upon this. It seems to have a lively community that's willing to help each other, so I'm excited about that, since feedback is very important to begin a better writer. Just to add, I love contemporary fantasy, so you'd be finding me writing a lot of those.

Excited to get started!

Welcome to AW, Cascade! :welcome:

You're right, AW is a lively, helpful community. It is, imo, the best online writing community and resource around, bar none. The size of the forums can be a little intimidating to begin, but it's well worth the effort to acclimate. We have a very active SFF section, so i'm sure you'll be right at home in no time!

See you around the boards :)

Welcome from another fantasy writer. My MG fantasy series is contemporary, though a lot of my stuff tends to be secondary world.
