  • Create a comprehensive website which serves as a hub for information of use to speculative fiction readers, writers, editors and publishers.
  • Develop booklists and other materials to use in outreach efforts to schools and libraries.
  • Raise funds for redistribution to quality work, by individuals and organizations, which enriches the field.
  • Present individual and organizational grants and awards; currently an award for excellence in speculative short fiction. Possible future grant/award areas include: novel development grants, a first novel award, small press/magazine development grants, financial assistance for writers attending workshops or writing retreats.

Club
This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.

When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
