The BSFA orbiters are very friendly. Groups of 4 or 5, so you get to know your orbiter. I like getting the feedback, even if people don’t like the stories (everyone is usually very constructive). It feels a bit weird making comments about other peoples writing to start with, but the process really helped my own writing.

I’ve written on and off for years, but have recently dedicated myself to really getting it out there and working on sf and fantasy writing and illustration.

Wow – that’s pretty brave of you, Martin. Have you done much writing before, or are you a newcomer also?

I'm making mine publicly available on Google Docs (which I'm using to write it) for anyone who wants to see it in progress. When finished, it will be released under a CC license and available free online.

Thanks for the tip, James. I knew they existed, but assumed they’d be aimed at the more advanced writer – which I am most definitely not! If you reckon they’d be worth a go for a total n00b, I may well give them a look.
