The short answer is "a group of writers committed to improving their skills, selling their work and making it easier for new talent to find their place in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror writing community".

A longer answer is that we're a group of friends who've banded together to give and receive quality critiques, serve as supplemental muses and try to unravel the secrets of the publishing industry. We work hard to get to know the editors and publishers, recruit new members to share our visions and search out new opportunities. We want to write the words that spark imaginations and give readers the same sense of wonder we feel when we discover a great new story.

But the most accurate answer, at least to me, is hinted at in this quote from Juvenal:

"An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many and grows inveterate in their insane hearts."

Writing--particularly speculative, fantastic writing--is a form of happy insanity that is better shared. If you feel it, you should be one of us.
