About the SFA
After years in the industry, having studied, written, and taught actively, I wanted to do something to help writers navigate the literary landscape. Having been active since the late 1990s (wow, that looks different when it’s written down!) I have stepped into the potholes that dot the road, so to speak, have had enough “gotcha” moments to write a three-volume series. I wanted to share that knowledge beyond infusing writing elements into traditional classes. I wanted to provide information that genre writers would find valuable… something they could sink their teeth into (pun intended).
Hence, the Speculative Fiction Academy was born!
