There are already plenty of writers' groups, but most of them are geared toward hobbyists rather than toward writers who think big (I know because I used to belong to three of them). If you're a self-published author having difficulty selling or promoting your work, or you're a writer who's frustrated by organizers who've told you what you are and aren't allowed to write, or you'd like to write and self-publish but are intimidated by the process, SPACE is for you. My name is Martin, and I've bee …
