First Book

[close] I keep finding groups on Goodreads that have reading challenges for established writers only, this is of no benefit for new writers at all. What we need is a group that champions great new writers and helps them to get noticed. The Fugitive Writers Group is just that, we look at all the new works sent our way and then offer a small number of titles each month for the reading challenge. This way all who join the group help each other get read and give feedback via the forum. Obviously, not everyone can get nominated but we will do our best to nominate at least two new books a month and give them a short review. We are teaming up with Fugam Scriptoribus Publications to help us pick a great selection. Plus, we are looking for great readers to join our group and help us find the best writers, is that you? We stick to the genres of Science Fiction or Fantasy, this is to reduce the huge amount of choice and these are the genres we love. We are looking for great writing with unique style and character, something out of the ordinary. Future visions of the most amazing and fantastic imaginings! We are small right now so why not join us and help us to grow enormous!

[close] Social Services is starting a Book Club! When we read, not only are we improving memory and empathy, but research has shown that it makes us feel better and more positive too. Reading also has incredible health benefits, including helping with depression, cutting stress, and reducing the chances of developing Alzheimer's later in life! Amazing! Our goal? 6 books in 12 months! We are kickstarting our book club in June with Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell.
