A strong networking group of fantasy readers and writers, as well as published authors of every kind. The group will be a support system to help new writers (as well as veteran) strengthen their work as well as promote the writing all over the web. This network will help everyone gain more recognition and sales. I want to see us newbies find the top of the search engines and seller lists. The best way to do so is to help each other. Here are a few ideas of how:

1. Provide relevant links of web sites, as well as information about the author linked to it. Obviously a link on a fantasy writers page to a biography writers site is not very relevant. But a link from fantasy to fantasy or sci-fi is.

2. Help spread word-of-mouth about new releases to friends, family, or anyone in general for everyone in the group.

3. Provide relevant reviews for fellow writers. For example, if you have published a romance novel, offer to review another writers romance novel. They can use the review in press releases as long as the reviewer has relevant credentials.

4. When someone in the group has published a new book, they should post it. Everyone else sends out emails to everyone on their mailing list with the information about the book and how to order it.

5. Whether you indend to purchase the new book or not, go to the book store and request a copy. Have everyone you know do the same. Perhaps that will catch the managers interest and he will research it himself!

Overall, help each other create a buzz, use others connections, ect. The publishing industry is a tough nut to crack, but if we all work together--writers and readers alike--we can make a difference!
