Off Planet Book Club

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We are a growing tribe of science fiction and fantasy literature fans (writers and readers) based in Los Angeles who share recommendations, reviews, news, and constructive critiques (for those who request them). Other members of the group can be found elsewhere in California or scattered across a few continents. We hope to expand into an international community of kindred spirits on the internet. (*Our name was recently changed to the Off Planet Book Club)

Here is a sci-fi myspace group started by one our members, The Fanatic: Cyberfiction (MySpace Group)
