odex gives us an opportunity to be inspired by one another's successes, learn through critiquing and being critiqued by other skilled writers, reach new insights, and sell more of what we write more quickly by sharing information about the business of writing.

• Promote exchange of information, ideas, and writing wisdom among pro-level writers
• Facilitate rapid (7 days or less) short fiction critiques
• Provide a place for a centralized compilation of writing resources, knowledge, and connections
• Sponsor workshops and other career- and skill-building events
• Offer more opportunities for us to shape the future of speculative fiction

embership is free, but requires either at least one pro fiction sale or completion of a major, by-audition-only speculative fiction writing workshop such as Clarion, Odyssey, Literary Boot Camp, Clarion West, etc. Members also must be writing fiction regularly, at least once a week for the most part. (In "writing" we include research, editing, outlining, etc.) And while more experienced writers are welcome, the focus is always on writers in the early stages of their careers.

To join, click the link above to e-mail us and just let us know what workshop and/or story sale you're presenting as your qualification to join.

urrent facilities include an online forum, a concise key writing resources page, rapid critique system, and the Spotlight (many of us read several works by one writer and start a discussion about how that person can take the writing to the next level). Current members include Phobos and Writers of the Future winners; Clarion, Odyssey, and Literary Boot Camp graduates; and writers whose work has appeared in a variety of pro venues.
