SFWA, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, for whom I am serving as Treasurer this year, has launched its new website. Technically, the site is still in a beta phase, but there is plenty of great information there right now. You may find a few bugs if you visit; please DO notify the webstaff so they can keep working and improving it.
As a member of SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators) and recently, a new member joining HWA (Horror Writers Association) to support and show confidence in their efforts, I am so thrilled to say that SFWA's new web presence compares well with these diverse organizations' web presence.
This is SFWA's new logo - it's great!
My heartfelt thanks go out to President Russell Davis for his unwavering leadership, and to our Secretary - but very much more than that, Mary Robinette Kowal. Our Vice President, Elizabeth Moon, not only has exciting new books on the horizon, she has also provided steady leadership as well.
"I don't know who those people are . . . " bleh bleh bleh. Well, to the internet people who stated that upon this current board running for election over a year ago, because things had gotten pretty depressing and bad - I am the first female author to have a cover story of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction twice in one year (2001). Very small in all regards, but for someone who grew up adoring Ray Bradbury, who reveres Daniel Keyes, and who believes in what F & SF is and has always stood for, it was a big honor to me. And I hope in some small way, the few things I do, are enjoyable to readers.
