Scifi Watch

It’s difficult trying to find quality news on the science fiction medium without having to track a list of specific sites to find the most up to date content. IGN is too mainstream and while the quality is good there’s nothing about science fiction literature other than graphic novels. Locus is the perfect avenue for up to date news but only allows you to read excerpts unless you have a subscription. Scifi Wire recently changed it’s site to a blog format and SFsite.com only updates weekly. So after recently switiching from Wordpress.com to Wordpress.org I thought I’d give this blogging this a real shot.
SciFi Watch is the updated daily site for everything to do with the science fiction medium and my experiences trying to ‘make it’ as a published full-time science fiction author. Enjoy!
