(UPDATED due to Closure) Welcome to Otherworlds
UPDATE:
Per the info here, Otherworlds is closed to new submissions and I am unable to reply to new inquiries. The following original piece is left up as a sort of remembrance of the good times. Cheers.

Who can join Otherworlds as a writer?

Special notes to writers:
- You are more than welcome to submit fiction for the community’s enjoyment and feedback. Please also feel free to submit pieces that are not fictional, e.g. your thoughts on the genres, favorite authors or topics, recommendations, questions, or things you just want to bounce off the rest of us. Let’s strive to make Otherworlds an interesting and inviting creative community.
- Please remember to subscribe, if Medium does not automatically do that when you’re added as a writer.
- Some of you may be added as writers based on your earlier interest. Thank you, founders!

Who is the editor of Otherworlds?
For now the editor is yours truly. Please be advised this is my first time acting as “editor,” so it might take me a while to figure out all the thingamajigs. I’ll probably need to ask folks for advice from time to time. So I appreciate your patience and understanding!
As editor I will look through each piece to check that it meets “Pub Rules.” If it does, I will publish it. I do not plan to do any technical editing or correcting. If you’re seeking more technical advice on your pieces, please pose the request to the Otherworlds community at large, and I’m sure we will help as best we can.
