The Speculative Faction and me
Who am I?
I'm Phil Parker, an avid reader of speculative fiction and author.
I have been a judge in SPFBO5 and I'm a founding member of the British & Irish Writing Community.
I enjoy sharing my love of this huge genre with others. Nearly as much as I love eating pizza and holidaying in Italy.
Why the Faction?
Fantasy and science fiction are genres which attract not only a large audience but a lot of writers - all of whom are passionate about the genre.
This is a meeting place.
There's plenty to read and your comments are always welcome. I hope there's stuff here that offers insights and ideas.
What does the faction include?
In my library there are different genres of stories:
-
alternate history
-
modern fairy tales
-
myths & tall tales
-
social commentary
-
pseudo-literary
There are book reviews and my blog has posts for writers and more generic issues too.
