Name/Nickname: (If you don't feel comfortable sharing a real name or pen name, that's fine! I'm here as redseafishTypes of speculative fiction you write: I hope I'm eligible. I mostly write contemporary (MG, YA, Adult) with speculative elementsHow long have you been writing?: Difficult to say. I had a career as a medical writer (does that count?). I've had spurts of writing fiction at various points in my life, but over the last 4 years have started to set about it more seriouslyWhat are your goals for joining the group? Any publishing plans?: Would be great to get critique. I would like to become agented (and then traditionally published, of course). I have 1 completed YA, 1 completed MG (just about to start querying), 1 Adult being beta read, and 2 further very rough draft MG. I really want to write Adult, but all my ideas turn out to be MG, ha ha.Do you agree to follow all of the rules stated in the rules forum?: YesHow did you find us? Did another member refer you? Through a post on the QueryTracker forum. I've been out of the loop for a little whileTell us a little about yourself! Any non-writing interests or hobbies you'd care to share?: I love swimming and I live by the Red Sea so that I can swim or snorkel every day. I love it here!Would you like to join the discord server as well? Probably not. I did have Discord at one point. Is this for online meetings? I'd rather keep to the forum since online meetings take up a lot of my internet (I pay by GB used).

Hello, welcome to the group! I've approved your membership, so you should be able to see all of the boards now. Anything with speculative elements is fine for this group! The summer marathon is ongoing now, but since it's only Week 2 feel free to jump in if you can catch up. The discord is mostly for chat, so it's not necessary to be a member. It's all text based, though, we don't use the streaming function (I think that's usually for gamers?).

Many thanks for the additional information. I think I'll opt out of discord for now, but good to know it's all text based.
