New Book from a Critter Member

Awesome new book, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPECULATIVE FICTION OPENINGS, from a Critter member whose unearthed a shard of The Secret to becoming a pro writer. Really good piece of work. "...if you're at all concerned about story openings, you'd be nuts not to read what Qualkinbush has to say." —Wil McCarthy, author of BLOOM and THE COLLAPSIUM

Stayin' Alive

If you want to make a career of SF writing, STAYING ALIVE - A WRITER'S GUIDE by three-time SFWA President Norman Spinrad, published by your Critter Captain's ReAnimus Press, is an indispensable guide to the SF publishing industry by an expert.

How to Write SF

Hot off the presses from ReAnimus Press! The Craft of Writing Science Fiction that Sells by Ben Bova, best-selling author and six-time Hugo Award winner for Best Editor. (This is one of the books your ol' Critter Captain learned from himself, and I highly recommend it.)

Book Recommendation

It's like discovering a new Heinlein book: POINT ULTIMATE by Star Trek writer Jerry Sohl.

Critters Alias

Add an Email Alias

Since some people want to email critiques from more than one email address and still get credit (i.e., both/all of them are valid)... there is this page.

Note that this page is not for changing the email address at which you receive manuscripts and critiques. That would be this page. This is solely to specify that critiques sent from either of the below addresses should count toward your credit. (I.e., otherwise I don't know that the alias is you, and you wouldn't get credit.)


First, we need your exact email address at which you receive the weekly notices (and manuscripts/critiques, if your preferences so dictate). If you're even one character off, or give the one that Critters is not using, this won't work. Email will be sent to this address confirming that your preferences have been changed, so if you do not receive this email within a short time (give it an hour, say) then this attempt to add an alias has failed.

Your (primary) email address (the one the database already knows about, e.g. the one you signed up with):


Now, your critters password, so we know this is really you :-)

Critters password:


Now enter your alternate email address, from which critiques will accrue as credit just as if mailed from the address we already had on file:


Also! You may want to send me a new Bio form if you prefer people use a different address than is currently listed.
