Fictionista Press

High-quality and in-depth explorations of beloved characters are just a click away, as are the creations of entirely new characters which their authors have generously shared with readers free of charge. Check out our 2010 discoveries.

Fictionista Press Interviews

Fictionista Workshop wants to know why writers write, editors edit, and readers read. As a community, we seek to explore all elements of the literary creative process  by reaching out to other online fiction and mainstream literary communities. As with our other programs, Fictionista Workshop wishes for the interview team to conduct these inquiries on behalf of their community, for their community. This entails adherence to free-speech-style interviewing tempered with civility and polite discourse. With this open approach, an interview can delve deeper than favorite books or an upcoming project.

We are currently exploring the writing, editing and publishing processes with a series of interviews with authors, editors and avid book reviewers. Have questions you would like for us to ask? Email us!

Courting the Classics

Jane Austen, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain these and others were the people your high school English teacher loved to torture you with, and as such have fed the belief that the classics are books that must be read, instead of willingly enjoyed. However, Fictionista Workshop hopes to open minds with a new review series. Every month, a classic book will be reviewed by a volunteer who will aim to shed new light on the work, talking about the book’s strengths and weaknesses, why or why not they enjoyed it, and how it may still be relevant today and possibly worth a try.

For our projects, we encourage writers to submit three formats:

• Series Column: Articles from an objective standpoint discussing the topic, in sub-topics, posted across multiple days.
• Top List: A Top 10 list, or Top 20 list with exploration of each selection. This format can include multi-media, such as videos, pictures, book covers, etc.
• Academic Essay: An essay on the topic with footnotes, research references in the body of the essay. With this, writers could utilize statistics, quotes and references, as well as conduct interviews from experts.
