Name/Nickname: Samantha Schreiber, but you can call me Sam, everyone has since college.
Types of speculative fiction you write: I mostly write fantasy, but my current WIP is sci-fi-ish. It doesn't really know what it wants to be, but my MC is a clone, so I'm calling it sci-fi for now.
How long have you been writing?: I've been writing since I was a kid. I've been writing novels since college. I took a really long break though and have only been finding my way back since just after my kid was born -- just in time for the pandemic!
What are your goals for joining the group? Any publishing plans?: I have a lot of individual betas and CPs, but I've always been intimidated by the thought of joining the group. Since my goal is to be agented and trad published (hopefully with my YA high fantasy trilogy - I know, I know!), I figured it was time to lean into my discomfort.
Do you agree to follow all of the rules stated in the rules forum?: Of course!
How did you find us? Did another member refer you?: Michelle put a call out on Twitter. I'm hoping to join with the rest of the flock coming from that.
Tell us a little about yourself! Any non-writing interests or hobbies you'd care to share?: I'm an exec at a global tech agency (we conceive/design/build websites). Between that and my almost-3-year-old son, I don't have a lot of time for much beyond writing. But I do love video and board games (mostly the rpg/story-based ones). I also love a broad range of movies and TV -- everything from competition/romance reality shows to Shondaland dramas to select sitcoms on the small screen and Marvel to Pixar to historical dramas to B-list monster movies on the big one.
Would you like to join the discord server as well?: Sure!
