About me: Namaste and welcome to the MySpace for The Zen Pen, a critique opportunity for writers.
If you are a writer, The Zen Pen can help you.
The Zen Pen was established in April of 2005 by former Realms of Fantasy slush editor, Carina Gonzalez, as a means to help authors achieve publication.
Take a look around and tell me how I can help you.

Who I'd like to meet: Authors, writers, editors, story doctors, critics, or anyone with an interest in writing or publication, specifically speculative fiction. For those who are not familiar with the term, "speculative fiction," it's just an umbrella term that can include, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, horror, urban legend, mythology, or any other type of fiction that isn't considered mainstream.
Are you a struggling speculative fiction author that just can't seem to get published? Or have you been published before, but are having trouble making a repeat performance? Maybe you've done well in short fiction, but would like to give novel writing a try! Interested in starting your own magazine? Have wonderful resources for other authors? Need someone to talk to about the stresses of writing? Contact me. I can help you.
This week at Ovations we have a guest blogger sharing her insights on the road to peace. Our anonymous blogger is not a professional writer, and yet her words flow as gracefully as any prose I've read by my favorite authors. I invite you to stop Ovations and join the conversation.
