If You Can't Say Anything Nice...

I spent a few years as a board member with SFWA, I've posted plenty of times about writing and publishing scams, and yet I don't make the boycott list. Oh, I see: it's because I didn't mention these guys in particular.

Well, have at it then. The Write Agenda are a bunch of tools who are pulling all sorts of silly stunts and who are quite obviously identifiable as affiliated with scammers. Or, at the very least, have some very strange complex about the good work that Ann and Victoria and Jim are doing. If you write, especially if you're newer, and don't know about it yet, Writer Beware should be one of your best friends.

Just got word that Atlanta Nights by author Travis Tea (say it out loud) has been optioned for a film, kind of a documentary coupled with some dramatizations. The money will go to SFWA's Emergency Medical Fund. Wanting to know about the famed Atlanta Nights? Read about it here.

And you can hear a "dramatic" reading of my chapter here.

I'll note that my chapter is a little more tame than many of the others. I was writing it so it would be bad but not insanely so, and out of sync with what was happening elsewhere in the book. Some other authors went a little more nuts, and more power to them, says I.
