With all of his publishing success one might not consider him an "outsider". But really, Science Fiction has always been the genre of the outsider reader and writer. And what could be more radical than escaping the real world to give your reading in a sim space?

If Tron was the cave painting of an earlier cyberage, it's now starting to look like we are entering the new Enlightenment.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
