Hello!

Aefnung · Jul 4, 2013

Hello! I stumbled upon this site when someone mentioned it in a review of another writing site, and it definitely looks like the most helpful place I've seen.

I mostly write fantasy and science fiction, with the occasional dabbling in mystery.

Hi Aefnung,

I've used the site a lot for research about queries and agents; it's wonderful! I write MG and YA fantasy. It's great to meet you. Good luck

Welcome from another fantasy and science fiction writer. Have you ever tried combining mystery with those genres?

Aefnung · Jul 5, 2013

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

@rwm4768 I'm actually trying that with an urban fantasy I'm working on now, weaving in elements of mystery/thriller.

Greetings and salutations. Yes it is big but unlike financial institutions, it's not to big to help you. Peruse the threads and be not afraid of posting in any that pique your interest.
