One of the highlights of the past two years has been the wonderful people I have had a chance to meet through writing. The twin tyrannies of time and distance mean that I don’t get to chat to them as much as I would like, but when I do it’s always a pleasure and I always learn something new.

When I sat down to think about the type of content I wanted on my blog this year, I decided that I would simply post the sort of things that I would like to read, that I would find interesting and of value, in the hope that others would benefit from them too.

Upon reflection, I realised that one of the things I really wanted was to hear more from my fellow writers, and I felt that the best way to do this was to start a new feature on my blog where I would invite various people to come and share something of their experience and knowledge.

And so “Wednesday Writers” was born! Every week I will feature a guest post from someone in the spec fic community. There is no set theme, just a chance for them to share something that they are passionate about, or have a degree of expertise in. I have a great line up of special guests, with a roster already reaching to April!

The usual disclaimers apply, I value diversity of opinion so the thoughts expressed here won’t always reflect mine. But, I wouldn’t be asking people to post unless I respected their viewpoints and integrity, and I am sure that as you read you will see why. Enjoy!
