Ralph Williams -- a federal employee, carpenter, fisherman, hunter, writer and family man -- contributed in his short life to the development of science fiction as a respected genre, although his own development as a writer was cut unexpectedly short. It is hoped that through this prize his commitment to quality writing, intelligent plots and meaningful themes will continue to flourish through other hands. For more information, see the guidelines for the Ralph Williams Prize for Speculative Fiction, or use the links at left to download the submission information. 2008 Alaska Speculative Fiction Conference is rapidly approaching After completing a successful writers workshop in August, the Alaska Writers Guild is pleased to announce the Alaska Speculative Fiction Conference, to be held in Anchorage, October 1-5, 2008.
