Well the only other woman in my offline sci-fi writing group moved away. Originally there were 5 of us out a group of 17. Over time people joined, left, re-joined, new members, etc. but as each woman left she was replaced by a man. Where are the women sci-fi writers? Even online writing groups seem to be dominated by men. I feel a little weird being the only woman in the group, but I know the guys and feel comfortable talking being friends as well as writing associates. I’m gonna try to get more women to join though.
How about you, what’s your experience? If you are part of science fiction writing groups either online or off, what’s the male:female ratio? Do you think it matters?
