The hungry edge of speculative fiction.

Neo-pro speculative fiction writers can shake the foundations and rattle the windows of the genres.


Codex gives us an opportunity to be inspired by one another's successes, learn through critiquing and being critiqued by other skilled writers, reach new insights, and sell more of what we write more quickly by sharing information about the business of writing.

Codex brings together pro-level speculative fiction writers at all stages of their careers who are actively writing. It was created to:

  • Promote exchange of information, ideas, and writing wisdom among pro-level writers

  • Facilitate rapid (seven days or less) short fiction critiques

  • Provide a place for a centralized compilation of writing resources, knowledge, and connections

  • Sponsor workshops and other career- and skill-building events

  • Offer opportunities to engage with the future of speculative fiction
