The
Sky-Tribe Writing Community: Stepping into the Future of Publishing. |
Sky-Tribe
is a new Writing Community for lovers of Science Fiction and
Fantasy who want to develop, publish and promote their writing.
It grew organically out of another incredibly successful community,
EditRed.com, to provide
the same powerful features that Edit Red's mainstream authors
were enjoying to writers of genre fiction. The needs of the
Science Fiction and Fantasy writer are very different to those
of the mainstream writer. Sky-Tribe.com is designed by successful
writers of both mainstream literature and Science Fiction &
Fantasy to meet these needs.
Sky-Tribe's vision is crystal clear: share your inspiration,
make your work visible to a vast network of fellow Sci-Fi &
Fantasy fans and grow your publishing credits. You write: Sky-Tribe
helps you grow and succeed as a writer.
Existing
members can upgrade their accounts here.

What Will An Sky-Tribe Homepage Do for YOU?
Without the need for any web design skills, you'll be able to
plug your own personal web space into an enthusiastic and dynamic
community. This is essential for:
- perfecting your latest story for your reader group
to critique, proof-read and enthuse over.
- showcasing your work in one attractive venue for your
family, friends and readers.
- sharing advice and news on writing, publishing and
networking within the Sci-Fi & Fantasy genre.
- sharing your Science Fiction & Fantasy pictures and
paintings.
- inviting your fellow Sky-Tribe members to conferences
and events.
- taking part in our frequent competitions and book
giveaways on the forum.
|
If you are
more serious about writing Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sky-Tribe offers
you tools for:
- optimizing the way you make, manage and track your
story submissions to print journals and ezines.
- linking to your body of online publications.
- promoting your books with covers, blurbs and reviews
throughout the site.
- selling your artwork for book jackets and promotional
material.
- finding the right artwork for your book jacket or
event.
- selling your books directly from your homepage through
the retailer of your choice.
- producing and selling ebooks directly from your profile
- from which you keep 100% of all revenue earned.
- advancing your knowledge and technique using our library
of articles on writing, promotion and marketing
All this is bound together in your own personal web address
(Sky-Tribe.com/username), which means you can invite family,
friends and colleagues to your web page to read your writing
and buy your books. Your Sky-Tribe.com web base takes just
5 minutes to complete and is much easier than describing
how you'd like your hairdresser to cut your hair.

The Sky-Tribe Community
The Sky-Tribe Writing Community includes everybody from first-time
writers to experienced authors with over 5 published books. It
is the perfect place to get your work critiqued and proof-read,
pick up free advice from established authors, share experiences
with other writers in your area, win awards and get your work
out there and published.
However, you don't have to take part in the community if you don't
want to. Sky-Tribe can be the place you invite friends and family
to view your writing.
Finally, a word of warning: the 8000 members of our sister site,
EditRed.com, login over 80,000 times a month between them. Not
only is it fun and helpful, it's more than a little addictive.
