Cecil King commented on Haneef B's blog post E-books and finding a solution that is right for me."I also looked into this sometime last year. Though my reason for doing so was because the kindle and kobo apps for android were woefully limited; the kobo app at the time didn't even have a search function where you could search the ebook! I…"

Michael A. Gill-Branion commented on Haneef B's blog post E-books and finding a solution that is right for me."I agree with Universal Africana. There is no universal Ebook format. Also, from an economic standpoint, it doesn't make any sense to do so unless you plan on writing books without selling them. There is strong economic…"
Universal Africana commented on Haneef B's blog post E-books and finding a solution that is right for me."I think that one of the main issues is that there is NO universal ebook format. I've encounter this topic before on other sites and forums that I'm on."

Pushing back against First Person Narratives
Posted by Moorsgate Media on March 7, 2014 at 1:05pm 0 Comments 1 Like
An increasingly common style in fiction in general, and self published fiction in particular, is the use of the first person voice. Stylistically, there is nothing wrong with the first person voice. Well executed, it has been used to great effect in critically acclaimed novels from Jane Eyre to The Hunger Games.
However encountering a narrative that begins and ends with a single view point tends to telegraph that there is a limit to the scope of the world that has been crafted. Crafting a story in a rich, detailed world is possible in the first person narrative (See Hunger Games). However, the scope of that world will always be limited to places that the character has personally experienced. Everything else, exposition, news, conversations…

I clipped this article and dropped the link here because even as we write about creative universes where things for Blacks are different than what we face here in the United States, it's good to reflect on the reality of life young Black men do face every day.
Mulogo and His Quintipule of Trouble
Posted by Martin Reese on March 4, 2014 at 12:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
My name is Martin Reese and I have just launched an exciting Kickstarter project. It is for a live-action short film called Mulogo and His Quintuple of Trouble. It is about a wizard's apprentice who reads a forbidden book of magic and accidentally conjures a five-headed dragon that he not only has to survive against, but also get rid of before the wizard returns. Mulogo is a unique character in the fantasy genre in that he is from ancient African kingdom of Kush. Please check out my Kickstarter. There is more info about the story and the project team. Currently the screenplay I wrote for this short film has made the quarterfinals of the 2014 Bluecat Screenplay Competition. It is in the top 80 of the 1,602 short screenplays submitted. Thanks.…

A Little Positive News Goes A LONG Way!

It's been awhile since we've been on the BSFS site. You know how it is...the day job seemingly takes over your life and doesn't leave much left over for much of anything. My day job is writing and producing films and our latest award-winning effort just launched at the Sundance, Berlin, Pan African, Santa Barbara and (NY) Museum of Modern Art within six weeks of each other. To say it's been a little busy is an understatement!
But then Life has a way of reminding you that 'Hey, buddy, you're a damn good writer of speculative fiction!' just when you most need the encouragement. I had started the third book in what now seems like a really fun series (I'm calling it The Soul…
