<p>How many of you read, write or know what Speculative Fiction consists of? I thought as a writer and reader of this up and coming genre, I had all the answers. Was I surprised to learn the vast, diverse range the genre encompassed.</p>
<p>Patti Hulstrand was a recent guest on the It Matters radio broadcast and addressed Speculative Fiction head-on. As the Manager of ConNotations, a magazine which consists solely of Speculative Fiction, she brought the listeners many tools to use in marketing and promotion.</p>
<p>Over 10,500 listeners were captivated by her interview. So, I ask you, is Speculative Fiction a growing market? Has it become it's own genre rather than grouped into Science Fiction, The Paranormal, Werewolves? For so long writers who entered into this genre were frowned upon and I, for one, was happy to hear it has now been accepted along with so many other genre's</p>
<p>I'd also love to hear from any of you who have written Speculative Fiction in any format. </p>
<p>Let us know your thoughts?</p>

Any attempt to anticipate what the future will be is a speculative fiction. Then, at a certain point, it turns out to be either the reality or just a fiction. A lot of books and films in the last century tried to describe how the year 2000 would look like. They were speculative fictions at that time. I think that it will remain a big trend, that people will always try to anticipate the future.

I agree Steve. Think it is here to stay and has now become accepted.
