whose primary mission directly supports adult creative writers in making artistic work and sharing it with readers.

” “Fiction is an alchemical art, a way of knowing not only the worlds that exist today but hypothetical worlds, vanished pasts and imaginary futures. Why read or write fiction at all, if you don’t want to go beyond the mind you have? ” “It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.
