POST SUBMISSION

Writing for the Visionary Fiction Alliance is a great opportunity to reach out to your peers and/or connect with readers; not to mention a little bit of showing off!

Submission Guidelines for Guest Blogs

Guest Blog topics:

You can write about virtually anything that in some way relates to Visionary Fiction. For example, we’ve had topics that are philosophical, spiritual, or scientific. You can examine VF from a literary perspective, describe the process and elements of writing VF, or describe how VF elements appear in pop culture.

We want to amp up the amount of long-form reviews on the site, so let’s get reviewing each others’ books!

Posts written solely for self-promotion are not accepted. However, if you want to focus on the specifics of your novel and relate it to VF, (for example how your novel came about in concept, or what makes it ‘visionary’, or advice on how to write VF) that is acceptable.
