Pingback: | Visionary Fiction Alliance
I welcome the opportunity to engage in dialogue with other seekers who look beyond outworn dogmas of both nineteenth-century science and fundamentalist religions. We are engaged in a world-changing shift that will move us toward understanding that we are part of a larger family–all sentient beings on this fragile world, our island home. Human individuals may well be cells in a larger body, that of Gaia, the Earth, which in turn may be a cell in the body of the universe as a whole. I hope our literary work will help readers imagine a far richer reality than the one to which the previous spirit-bereft age conditioned us.

I’m still unsure whether my work is Visionary Fiction. My novel has a life after death theme, but no magic. Is there anyway for me to get clearer on whether my novel fits this genre? Thank you, Rachel

Somehow I missed the email with the web badge! I just found it and am adding the badge to my site, along with a blog post about VFA. My author site has always had a definition of Visionary fiction reference along with a link to the VFA. I’m so happy to see how this alliance is growing! We are truly needed in this world of media violence and “(empty) sex sells.”
After recent updates and revamping of both my book covers and website, I have made a note to submit some of my work for reviews, and to return here often.

p.s. I can’t seem to connect VFA with my author page on Facebook – it keeps wanting to connect to my personal profile rather than my author page. Also tried to join the Visionary Fiction Authors closed group, but again it wouldn’t let me in except under my personal profile, not my author page. Any suggestions?
I’m on Facebook as Author Karen R. Thorne.

I don’t get how to sign up as a member. I tried, it just puts me on the mailing list. I can’t see where to sign in, and I’m not even sure if I’m signed up. I didn’t get the badge mentioned, it’s been slightly frustrating. Cheers…

Apologies, Pavan, that your name did not appear in the Visionary Fiction database page until now. It was in duplicate in the actual database. I see that you have two email addresses theshapeoflife@gmail.com and pavanswan@live.com. Which do you prefer to be listed by? I will update the database as soon as I hear from you. Thanks much and welcome, if belated. Vic Smith, Admin

Hello. I am about half way through writing my first children’s fiction. I came across your website while doing some research on visionary fiction and I am interested in joining the group.
I do not have an official website created yet. Will a facebook page for my writing be sufficient to join the VFA?

Hi Eleni,
I tried to sign up as an author and I entered my website (www.jkgreene.com) in the appropriate space on the application form, but when I hit the submit button I got an error message saying I needed to enter a URL. I tried again and the same thing happened. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I learned about you from a blog by Ellis Nelson. I’ve actually so far published one book that totally fits this genre and it’s a novella. But, having a genre gives me impetus to complete the many stories and books that have been dormant. I look forward to seeing our visions manifest through this group.

Such a wonderful site to inspire a feeling of simple belonging. Thanks to Eleni and Victor. And thanks too to Jolene Turner for this quote which I paraphrase: Visionary Fiction is a unique genre. It infuses story with spiritual and metaphysical themes meant to catalyze shifts of consciousness.” Yes! Such clarity on what we intend. I’ve published a novel called, “Quantum Venus & the Magic Theatre” on Kindle. Hardly anyone reads it but that’s okay because it probably needs a professional and sensitive edit before I do print-on-demand. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comment, Ellen. Editing followed by proofreading is vital as an indie author. I can give my recommendations privately. Just send me an email, but you can also check out our resource page which does have links to such services.

With a handle like ‘princeoftides’ I feel I may be in good company. 🙂
I just completed writing a visionary/mystical/spiritual fiction debut novel, 10 years in the making, really having a challenge to classify into the right genre terms.
Just starting the hunt for a good review, a publisher, or literary agent, and would like to get there sooner than later. Any best advice?

At least, a genre into which my novel can call home. “All That Time” is relatively scientific, certainly fiction. However, science-fiction never quite described my time-travel odyssey. An early mentor said, “I am stuck with trying to find a genre for your story.” I have often described “All That Time” as “sci-fi lite,” but even that did not quite do the job. “Visionary Fiction” best describes my story of a 55-year-old man who travels back forty years in time, inside the mind of his 15-year-old self. There, with all the maturity, knowledge and experience he has gained over a lifetime, he sees his adolescence very differently from the original version and is able to make adjustments that will impact his future.
