For several years I edited the newsletter for a by-mail (and later by-email) writing workshop for new and aspiring science fiction, fantasy, and horror writers.
It was started by a guy named Alan Bechtold in 1980, but he was ready to go on to other things after about three years. So I volunteered to keep the newsletter going, beginning with issue #34.
My involvement is one of the reasons OSC asked me to moderate the Hatrack River Writers Workshop forum, by the way.
I decided to end my editing stint with issue #300, after making almost six years worth of newsletters available through email as PDF files. Links to those files (by year), for issues 230 through 300, are now available here if anyone is interested in seeing those issues.
Depending on how much time and effort it takes, I may find a way to make issues #1-#229 available online as well. But, first, I think I'll see what the response is to the ones that are already up.

In interesting tidbits and maunders, some genuinely useful articles, The SF and Fantasy Workshop newsletters cover about every topic of interest a confused and dedicated emerging writer might be looking for. It's worth a look. I found "A POST MODERN EDITOR CRITIQUES THE BIBLE" by Richard Fielding, Jan 2003 No. 255, a humurously ironic deadpan satire of the critique paradigm. Hillarious.

I skimmed through the titles and took the time to read three of the articles. It looks like an interesting collection, Kathleen, and in the next week I'll take the time to read more of them.

There's a whole lot of useful info there. Do you have the rights to extract, edit and collate into a book?
