Core Values and Admonitions

Aborning authors must consider themselves apprentices to the craft and study of novel development, editing, and writing.

The Epiphany Light must be entered. A new viewpoint must replace the old.

The "Art of Fiction" must be learned. Passionate writers fail to become published either because they do not sufficiently understand the art, or are unwilling to make those compromises necessary to satisfy it. See Reasons Why Passionate Writers Fail.

 Authors must demonstrate a degree of mastery suitable to their chosen genre; and in order to do that, they must become intimately familiar with their genre.
