A Story About Books

E-zine Update
New at Mindflights: How Volumes Inc. Became A Religious Bookshop by Douglas Kolacki
Don't let the title put you off. This is a highly enjoyable escapade in which people literally escape into stories...

New issue of Raygun Revival! This issue is a feast for sci-fi readers, containing the usual variety of short fiction, serials and reviews.

Industry News
Jeff Gerke reports that Marcher Lord Press is doing well. Already two of the three first-batch books have broken even. This bodes well for the Lost Genre!

New Releases
Forever Friends anthology compiled by Shelagh Watkins contains at least one Lost Genre story, The Night of the Gift by Grace Bridges - a supernatural flight of fancy involving the return of Philip's transport.

Submission Guidelines

Today I want to outline some of the items we'll be including in posts to this blog. Remember, anytime you have news of the Lost Genre, let us know: webmaster at lostgenreguild dot com.

Definition
To qualify as Lost Genre News, the works we promote must be Christian and also fall into the speculative genre - that is, science fiction, fantasy, horror, or any subgenre of these.

New Releases
The Lost Genre is growing every day, and we want to help the fans keep up with it. Not restricted to members of the Lost Genre Guild, we aim to cover everything that happens in our sphere of interest.

E-zine Updates
The non-paper equivalent of New Releases. There's more to discover!

Websites
Because we're just beginning to blog news, this section is not restricted to new sites. We'll be glad to feature any Lost Genre locations.

Author News
Now we get down to the nitty-gritty. Authors may submit their personal news as related to writing and publishing the Lost Genre. Finished a draft? Signed a contract? Have a cover or release date for your coming opus? Let's hear about it.

Industry News
Which publishers are courting the Lost Genre? Where's the next big thing going to happen?

Randomness
If it didn't fit anywhere else, it might still fit. Contests, reviews, book trailers, author blogs, and the like.

Guest Bloggers...
...are most welcome. If you have something to say about an aspect of the Lost Genre, then say it (short 'n' sweet please, let's say 400 words max) and submit it. We'll be glad to feature guest bloggers up to once a week. Note: This should be aimed mainly at readers, not writers! Exceptions not excluded.

For Writers
We won't forget you! If there's a site to help out budding (or flowering or fruiting) writers, we'll list it here for you as it comes to light.

Let the fun begin!
