Start Here: Your Guide to Fantasy and Fellowship
How to navigate your new favorite fantasy publication.
Welcome to Fantasy and Fellowship!
This is where I, Josh Louis, weave fantastic tales and share adventures from my own writing journey from a fledgling writer to a storytelling hero.
I write a wide range of fantasy, from tiny 100-word stories (what I call “microfantasies”) to long-form fiction. Along the way, I take time to reflect on what I’ve learned and what each story can teach me about the practice and craft of creative writing.
How to Navigate Fantasy and Fellowship
To help you get started, I’ve put together this “quest log” as a guide to all I do here:
Microfantasies: Tiny Stories with Big Impact
Fantasy is more than epic adventures and 1,000-page novels; in fact, sometimes it’s the little moments that make for the most memorable (and impactful) stories. Browse my microfantasy collection ➔
Fantasy Shorts: Slightly Longer Tales
Sometimes a story cannot be told in 100 words or less. My fantasy shorts vary in length, but they are all short, compact, and standalone tales unless indicated otherwise. Read my fantasy shorts ➔
Fantasy Serials: Coming Soon!
Epic fantasy is defined by its scale and grandeur. Flash fiction and microfiction cannot emulate the sprawling narratives, massive cast of characters, and world-changing stakes of long-form fantasy, so I’ll be starting my own serials soon. Coming soon ➔
Writer’s Notes: Reflections on the Writing Process
The writing instructor in me likes to harp on the importance of reflection throughout the writing process. Here, I publish companion writer’s notes for each of my stories that act as miniature writing lessons. Start reflecting today ➔
Membership Benefits: Support My Work (and Your Own Writing)
Look, we all know that writing doesn’t pay the bills–at least not on its own. If you want to support my adventures in fantasy fiction, you can learn more about the membership perks here (and what they can do for your own writing journey). Discover the membership benefits ➔
About Me: Josh’s Origin Story
Curious how a corporate copywriter made the shift from B2B marketing to higher education and fiction writing? You can learn more about my writing journey here. Discover my origin story ➔
Personal Recommendations
Not sure where to start? Here are four stories, plus one writer’s note, that I think best represent who I am as an author and storyteller.
Anyway, thanks for being here, and I hope you enjoy your time here at Fantasy and Fellowship!
