Who knows the names of any dystopian fiction novels, movies, authors?


To clarify, dystopian means it is the ***?ture of earth in a bad way. The movies Clockwork Orange, Terminator, Blade Runner, Brazil, and Waterworld all are of that genre. I am mostly looking for authors who have written these types of novels. Thanks

I am interested in doing freelance proofreading, preferably fiction books. Any pointers for getting started?


I love to read! I have a B/A in history and economics (double major) and a J.D. I have retired from the practice of law and would like to immerse myself in fiction writing by proofreading for quality authors and publishers. I would be happy to submit a resume and transcripts for any openings in this field. I would also be willing to do some traveling, as well as update my skills through in-house training or through further college credit as required.

I work best from my home or from the small office I have established in an historic office building located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. I could communicate via computer, fax, phone, snail-mail and Fed Ex/UPS, etc…. Never having done this type of work before, I have no clue as to what to charge for this service; please be kind!

If you have done this type of work before, or, are looking for a person with my abilities, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks so much!

Do you know of any legit websites that welcome/publish/launch short fiction from new writers?


I am talking about serious fiction writing (no particular subgenre) that feature mostly writing majors/new fiction authors and not sleazy, amateurish fiction websites.

I’ve tried zoetrope.com, however in order to enter their contest you have to pay them.

What are some good historical fiction authors?


I’m in the mood to read some historical fiction and I would like to know what authors are out there that people really like. I know of Ann Rinaldi, but other than that, I’m clueless. Any suggestions?

By the way, I tried looking up historical fiction in the local library system and we have over 3000 books that fit that criteria. I don’t feel like sifting through them right now and I don’t have time to get to the library before it closes to just browse.
