Welcome to Fiction Bitz' temporary home!
I hope you stay with us and check in now and again for updates on our progress towards the big P-day. It will be an exciting road for anyone in South Africa who loves fiction and interesting developments to watch as our writers and readers get to know each other in a whole new way...

The market survey results are almost finalised! If you haven't done so already, add your voice to what you would like to see at Fiction Bitz. The current results should be posted by early next week, but we won't close the survey down just yet. All respondents get their first FOUR issues of Fiction Bitz for free! The closing date for this survey will be posted soon though, so jump in and answer 6 easy questions while you still can!

Due to popular demand, it appears we also have to run around for new quotes on the printing. Luckily we ran a survey to know what people actually wanted :P This means we'll need to jump our financial planning through a few more hoops for the investors, but it's good to have an MSExcel whizz on our side so it shouldn't slow us down too much...

Writers in Cape Town are slowly crawling out from under their rocks and what an awesome bunch they are! Also a few writers from elsewhere in the country have been in contact with some really excellent material...

I met a publisher today with a very exciting book I hope to include in our early issues. I know many readers out there will love this new spin on an ancient game - not to mention the possibility of winning a book or three! Aenigmatic, I know, but I'm not saying anymore. For now ;)

Our journey has only just begun and I'm more excited about this project than ever. The support from not only family and friends, but complete strangers, has already been almost overwhelming.

It's going to be a fun road ahead, albeit a tough one. I know our South African writers have exquisite vistas to bring to the reading world and our readers will be the ones to light the way.

Viva!
