FAQ.
I'm a new writer. Can I join?
Of course! All writers are welcome, whether thinking of writing your first story or on your tenth novel.
Can I add my event?
Yes! If you have an event relevant to the Science Fiction and Fantasy writing community, we'd love to hear about it. Book launches, readings, festivals, workshops... we'd love to share the word.
Who runs ESFF?
Edinburgh SFF is run by writers in or around Edinburgh, Scotland.
Who can join?
While we're primarily a Scotland-focused writing collective, we're open to all writers. We aim to support the Scottish writing community rather than be a global resource.
Are there fees?
Nope.
Who moderates the ESFF Discord?
We have a small team of moderators, all of whom are also writers. We also have a friendly bot (SFFBot).
Is there a code of conduct?
Yes. While ESFF is an easy-going and friendly community, we have some guidelines and expected behaviour.
When was Edinburgh SFF formed?
Once upon a time, long ago, on a dark and stormy night (actually, it was sunny)...
It was the inaugural Cymera Festival in 2019. A group of writers who had never met were found talking about writing books over coffee and beer, bemoaning the lack of writing communities for SFF writers. Then, they had a bright idea...
Can I have a badge?
Yes! Come to an event and ask.
