[SKRIVA] Other Worldd Writing Workshop

"Other Worlds Writing Workshop" kallas denna site:

http://www.otherworlds.net/frameset.htm

"...a place where serious writers of speculative fiction can polish their 
skills and learn from each other. Works posted here range from short-shorts to 
full-length series, from first drafts to finished works in final polishing. Our 
members are invited to join based on their love of and understanding of the 
requirements of good speculative fiction. We have programs geared to varying 
skill levels (see Workshops). Professional writers are not only welcome but 
especially invited to join and share in the benefits of a workshop tailored to 
the needs of our genre. If you have ever read a published work and found 
yourself mentally screaming "Show, not tell!" or looked at your own after the 
fact and thought, "Did I really say that? Argh!", you belong here.

Writers will find here:

Help with worldbuilding: discussions and critiques aimed at improving the 
background setting of your story

Line edits: for those who want to put the final gloss on the manuscript before 
it goes to the editor

Story analysis: if your characters are hopeless or your plot has canyons 
instead of potholes, here is the place to fix them, and save some editor the 
price of a rejection notice

Technical help: do your sword fights need help? You can't find a plausible way 
to disguise a seven-foot alien as human? Throw out your question and let your 
fellow members help

Chat: discussion and talk lists related to the care and feeding of speculative 
fiction, tips for getting published, working with editors, and other craft-
related issues

Bookstore: through the Other Worlds Bookstore, you can pick up references for 
just about anything you need to help build your worlds, from how to write to 
how middle-tech fantasy types get bread on the table or steel on their hips

Men, tyvärr, det är ju på engelska och riktat på engelskspråkig marknad,så 
nyttan för presumtiva svenska författare torde vara begränsad.
  Siten har en hel del informativt material, icke desto mindre, och kan vara 
värd att kolla in.
