I&#39;m a big fan of science fiction and fantasy in several mediums. I started Prometheus Unbound in part because of that interest and because I want to promote fiction with libertarian themes.</p> <p> But I also want to encourage and facilitate more libertarians to write higher and higher quality fiction. I&#39;m an aspiring fiction writer myself, in the planning stages with several story ideas.</p> <p> Lately, I&#39;ve been listening to a bunch of writing podcasts and have become interested in having writing groups and alpha readers for workshopping one&#39;s in-progress short story and novel projects. So I created a writing group here in the mises.org community:</p> <p> <a class="vt-p" href="http://mises.org/Community/groups/austro-libertarian_fiction_writers_and_alpha_readers/default.aspx">http://community.mises.org/groups/austro-libertarian-fiction-writers-and-alpha-readers/</a>&nbsp;[Updated link]</p> <p> If you&#39;re interested in writing fiction, especially if you&#39;re serious about it, check out the group.</p> <p> I&#39;ve linked to a couple of writing podcasts and an article by established, successful writers on writing groups and alpha readers, and I&#39;ve distilled some guidelines from these to help facilitate the workshopping process and avoid common pitfalls.</p> <p> I also recently launched Simple:Press-powered <a class="vt-p" href="http://prometheusreview.com/forums/">community discussion forums</a> on the <em>Prometheus Unbound</em> website, which includes several forums for writers (on the craft and business of writing, for writing groups, and author spotlight and showcase).</p> <p> I hope to see more and better libertarian fiction published in the future. And more libertarians winning the <a class="vt-p" href="http://lfs.org/awards.htm">Prometheus Award for Best Libertarian Novel</a>!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
