Speculative Fiction Writing Circle

The Codex Writers’ Group also known as Codex is an online community of active speculative fiction writers. Codex was created in January 2004. The Codex Writers’ Group won the 2021 Locus Special Award.

History and membership requirements

Codex was created in January 2004 by Quinn Reid, a member of Orson Scott Card's 2001 Literary Boot Camp. The focus of the group is on writers in the early stages of their careers. The forum uses the phrase 'neo-pro', which they define as "writers who've had at least one professional publication and/or participated in one of the top by-audition-only workshops, but who have not yet sold a great many stories or a number of books.".
