Persephone update

[lagilman]

Some of you may have hear me mention Persephone, or have heard rumblings about it from other sources.

Short version: Persephone is a professional advocacy organization for women who write in or about "dark" literature, which in this instance covers everything from traditional horror to a nicely creepy mystery to a non-fiction book or series of articles about the same.

For more information, you can slide on over to persephone_lj. Our website, http://www.persephonewriters.org/, should be active in the next week or so.

As the membership chair (for my many, many sins) I can say now that membership information (the who, how, and how much) will be posted once the site is operational. For those who've already asked, Persephone is a professional writers' organization, so yes, there are publication requirements.


More to come.

Already fixed. Pppbbbttthht. ;-)

Can people join the Persephone LJ community without being members of the org, or will it be members only, like my jacket in the 80s?

[lagilman]

Members only, I'm afraid, although there will be Posts of General Interest made there as well, open to all.

Yeah, I noticed that by visiting the Persephone community shortly after I asked my question. I like to do everything backward.

Is there going to be any sort of networking opportunity for those of us who write dark (non-fanfic) stuff but haven't been published? Yet, anyway. I hold on to that "yet" like a lifeline, and keep plugging away in the word processing software as time permits. :) Like allowing comments in the community from non-members at least?

Very cool organization, though, and I think you'll do a great job as membership chair.
