November 2023: The Business of Writing Speculative Fiction - R-SPEC, Rochester Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Includes graphic with the following topics arranged around 'Your Story': new to writing; marketing basics; getting published; new to writing; the writers life; contracts 101

You finish your story, and then you write “The End.”

What comes next?

If you’re satisfied with being a writer, then put your story away and write your next one. You’re good to go.

If you’re an aspiring author, however, there are many things to consider and to plan for so that you can become a published author.

On November 7, the R-SPEC Team invites you to a discussion about what to do if you’re new to speculative fiction, and if you want to learn more about marketing basics, getting published, understanding contracts, avoiding pitfalls and scams, and striving for your best writer’s life.

We hope you’ll join us and several special guests that’ll help us all better understand the business side of writing speculative fiction.
