Hi and welcome. First thing is probably read, interesting posts, good advice and lots to learn. Then maybe tell us what you like to write. ;)

Hi Dan, Welcome to the colony.

I second @Alistair Roberts reading through bits and bobs is really useful. Also check out the Facebook thread, all available contacts are there, feel free to connect and add your own :)

Howdy, good to see new faces on here, can't wait to know a little more about you and your work. I can't really say much that hasn't been said already, just have fun and be friendly

Right, thanks everyone.
I'll have a good look around the board later.
In terms of what I write, I've just finished a novel for children (8-12) and am halfway through a second. I'm trying to get an agent but no success as yet.
Does anyone else on here write children's fiction?
I've also written a few short stories for adults - slightly dark.

Well my fantasy series is more adult - teenagers, and at around 99,000 too long for the younger ones I should think ;)

Welcome!!! I write YA speculative fiction. Second novel in the trilogy done...

BUT, I happen to LOVE reading middle grade. I am reading Henry Neff's Tapestry series right now and adore it.

I think anyone who can keep smiling while poking himself in the eye with a live lurcher needs no advice from the likes of me....
Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. I've been trying to post on here for about a week but it hasn't been letting me! :(

Glad you could finally post. Someone else had a similar problem, which Pete managed to fix. I'd suggest you link to people via Facebook, and if you have more problems you can let someone know that way ;)

Ha - that was me! Seems like I wasn't the only one it went all glitchy on then! Odd how it affected some of us and not others. Hello Dan :)
