Are You a Frontier Writer?

Probably

I would like to clear up any misunderstanding about what we mean when we say "Frontier Writer. Words are important and I try to choose mine carefully. "Frontier" is a funny word because it has a different meaning than it does in the rest of the English-speaking world. In most of the world, "frontier" refers to a border between counties. France for instance has German, Spanish and Belgian frontiers. In America we use "boarder" for international boundaries and reserve "frontier" for the line separating law, church and commerce on one side and ungoverned wilderness on the other.

The United States Government recognizes the special character of rural areas by designating them as frontier which the government defines as "Sparsely populated areas that are geographically isolated from populations centers and services. The Frontier Writers' Circle is a recognition of the fact that where we live affects how we think and here we are living in an environment very different from the typical American experience.

That said we intend to be very inclusive. Any style, any genre, fiction, non-fiction, children's or densely technical I think there is something we can learn from each other.
